    I am trying to find out this myself, I will post back here if I find anywhere for you to get $....hhhmmmmmm where to start:rolleyes:
  • You will get a slightly better rate if you order currency from someone like Crown Currency Exchange or Thomas Exchange, usually though you have to order and pay in advance to get the higher rate.

    On the high street unless you are buying tens of thousands of dollars I don't think you will find more than a cent or two variation. M&S today are giving $1.5858.
