    The 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.

    just go to a no commission place like the post office...

    or I'll swap it for two of our English pounds. May come in useful next week!

    Will they exchange such a small amount, in that direction, for no commission?

    All the travel agencies will take unwanted currency for charity-they change it up in bulk (including coins) and then donate it....but yes I was waiting for the punchline too !!

    £2 and I got a steal!
    I'm local to here

    Thy can only say no if you try.
    I entered a triathlon in the US, and had to send my entry fee in cash. I used the post office to get my $15 entry fee no problem.

    Yep no problems at all. The 'commission' is in the exchange rate spread.

    I know the Post Office would change pounds into dollars, I'm just not sure about the other direction.
    Will try at lunchtime. If that fails I'll try the charity suggestions.

    How about eBay??
