Low denomination $$$'s

[lovelylins]

Hi

Further to the question regarding high denomination travellers cheques, does anyone know if you can order single $1 bills from any of the bureau de change places here in the UK?

Rather than have to make change when we get there, I thought it would be useful to have singles for tipping etc.

You could use one of your high demonination notes to buy a small packet of sweets or a drink in the arrivals hall and then ask for change in $1 bills.

My local post office allows whatever denominations you like. You just make sure you tell them what you want beforehand and they should send it.

It depends.. One time I was given nearly all 50s because that's what they had, it was a busy time of year for currency (as is now come to think of it!!) You could ring beforehand and ask I guess but personally I wouldn't worry too much, as someone mentioned you can always break a bigger note at the airport when you arrive

We use the post office, normally they have plenty of $1 dollar bills in stock anyway, but you can order them in specific denominations.

I know that when I have got my currency from Thomas cook I have phoned 3 days before, told them exactly how many dollars I wanted and in the xact denominations (i.e $50=1x$20,2x$10,1x$5 and 5x$1's) They have ordered it in and it is bundled together ready for me to collect - they also price match so have ordered it and just checked the other TA's on walk through town to check that I am gettin the best deal!

Either Tesco(in-store) or Marks and Spencers will supply you with ample quantities of $1.00 notes. I've got $150.00 worth for tips for room service on our cruise.
