Secondary currencies (meaning: anything except the USD or Euro) has such an exchange spread that it's preposterous, if it's accepted at all. It's cheaper for me, for example, to change CAD into USD in Canada, and then USD to local currencies wherever I'm going, than to change CAD to local currency. The reason I suggested that is that it's more of an insurance policy/psychological protection than anything else, since with a properly-functioning ATM card you'll never need it. That way you save on having done any exchange at all. miguel -- Hit The Road! Photos and tales from around the world: http://travel.u.nu |
