Any PO branch that is advertising a buy rate will be able to change the currency for you. AFAIK the "buy back" guarantee just means that you can change the money back at any PO branch even if it doesn't offer currency on demand.

1.9023 is a pretty dismal rate (not that I'm surprised since it's the PO). Thomas Exchange Global is offering 1.79533 at the moment. It won't make much difference to $6 but I've got quite a lot to change back and I'm hoping the rate will stay good until I have time to get myself to TEG.

Agreed. Not convinced I can get my money to TEG and back again for 19p! All the best with yours, though.

The rate is only dismal because its buy back, the exchange rate is much better for purchases!

Less than £3 and I'll be a bit gutted, as I make it worth £3.60.

Finally took it to the post office on Saturday. Got three pounds twenty something. Was quite chuffed.
Guy behind the counter was most amused I was only offered £1.49 at the airport.

Thanks for all your help, helpful comments and witty comments.
