Thomas Cook foreign currency..warning

roddydogs

If your going to order currency from TC, or anywhere else for that matter, make sure you tell the "I dont want all small currency." Ive just got £300 worth of EC Dollars..all in $5 notes (worth £1.27 each) Ridiculous....How can someone think this is what i want to carry around? Ps there was not enough time to order elsewhere.:mad:

I think getting small notes is great - I'm sick of asking for the equivalent of £200 and getting the local version of £20 notes in countries where £20 is a week's wage.

Small notes are great for tipping

EC Dollars??
maybe that was all they could get

It all gets spent the same doesn't it?

Rather than than the equivalent of £50 in poorer countries that nowhere has enough change to break.

They tried to give us lots of $50 dollar notes, though I prefer $10 and $20 notes. As photome said, the singles were great for tips.
