Changing Money Cheap
Always be informed, prudent and curious about foreign currency exchange, rates and related subjects that could affect your travel dollar and cash on hand.
Sometimes some place will try to overcharge you with exorbitant fees or blown up exchange rates. Specially if you try to change money on weekends or holidays, at night, or in places were lots of tourists are it could become expensive. So, get information where to get the best rates (and it’s good to do that ahead of time, because walking around town for 3 hours so you can save $5 on exchange rate fees isn’t that economical neither).
There are numerous sources of this information handy to travelers. You can find out any of the current exchange rates in real-time, from the worldwide Web, stock exchange websites, your own bank, and or by contacting private currency exchange businesses like Thomas Cook and others, offering this financial service.
