Changing six dollars into pounds

Hi,
I recently went to the States and have no plans to return in the near future.
I planned my spending well and have come back with six dollars in notes (a $5 bill and a single) that I kept back in case I needed anything at the airport.
I ordered my cash online (Currency Express - very quick and easy) and got it delivered. If they do a buy-back service I doubt it's worth it for $6 as I guess I'd have to post it.
I asked at the airport but they wanted to charge £1.50 commission.
Any idea where the best place to change it is?
Jim

I wondered that. I could take it to, say, an Oxfam shop. But won't they have the same problem as me?anniehanlon wrote: »Just drop it into the nearest charity shop tin. it's only worth just over 3 quid.0 -

No, who's on second base, what's on thirdThe common law of business balance prohibits paying a little and getting a lot. If you deal with the lowest bidder, it is well to add something for the risk you run, and if you do that you will have enough to pay for something better.0 -
