    Does it cover info on how to change $ to £? I'm left with a bit of holiday cash and trying to find the best way of changing it back too.

    best place is to sell them to a friend who is going at a mutually advantageous rate. Second best is to walk round your local High Street to see who is best that day - there's no one best provider. If Thos Cook say are best in your town they may not be in the next - or tomorrow.

    the travel money feature is mainly about buying foreign currency, not selling it back.

    +1 will happily buy and add a small amount on top of the best conversion rate that you find for selling $ to £.
