monday past .....$1.36c for £1. I wish i had bought all my dollars i need before christmas $1.57 -£1....its a hell of a drop for anyone buying a couple of thousand dollars .Lets just hope the pound picks up a bit stronger in the next month or two .

Is that a typo? We all know that the rate has dropped a long way over recent months but I'd expect to get around $1.45 even when it was at it low point a few days ago.Originally Posted by seanchai
This is not a typo ...but maybe a mistake posted on the bureau de change at the post office in Livingston...i certainly hope it is a mistake . .
I've only ever bought dollars once from the Post Office and the rate was awful but, as you say, that looks like an error. I'd see $1.45 as about right last Monday.

I think that rate is possibly right for the post office. Mark & Spencer always offer a better rate $1.4669 at the moment.

Good to hear about the post office ...we usually change our euros there (but admittedly not done so for some years now) .....does anyone have a certain place where they get a good rate or is it just shop around and hope for the best ???(the dollars i got before christmas was at barrhead travel so i will give them a phone and see what their rate is ) If i see it at $1.50 i will jump at the chance to get my(our) spending money ....as i said i got $1.57 before christmas and only bought $500 for the kids to put by ...hoping it might encourage them to save for their holiday in florida in June .
