Shall I Cash In My Euros Or Wait A Bit?

[Tilly2]

I have 160 Euro, how much will that convert to in GBP?

[fiction-factory]

Will you use Euros in the next year or so? You'd lose a small % when you convert them and then pay commission next time you need some- so I'd keep them uness you need the cash in the bank for something soon.
It's so hard to forecast currency movements I wouldn't take it into consideraton

Why change them, will you not be visiting any other part of Europe again?

[Tilly2]

I am not planning on going to (Euro) Europe for the next two years, at least. Holidays all booked for non Euro countries.

[Tilly2]

Thanks for the conversion link, Roger.

[jollyroger66]

You're welcome, Tilly

[jno]

got any friends who might be going to Euroland and need some cash?

[fiction-factory]

I'd just pay them in before you forget about them and lose them then Tilly. Unless you hold on to them for a year or so I doubt their value would change by more than 10 Euro either way.

[Tilly2]

Good idea, Jno. Yes, I have. I didn't think of that.

[Tilly2]

My next holiday is Canada, maybe I can change them into Canadian Dollars.

[Tilly2]

Thank you all. I have tucked them away inside my passport and will use them to buy Canadian Dollars, I think.

If you do change them don't change them at an airport, Yilly.

[Tilly2]

Thanks, Yont. I'll go to the Post Office, I expect.

[tonyav]

Don't blame ya.

[Tilly2]

I have never bought currency at an Airport. Why would you?

[ichkeria]

I'd hang on until parity between the pound and the euro
And then change them :-)

[EDDIE51]

Airports are already offering just 1 Euro to £1. Keep the Euro's they will be worth over a £ each soon.

[ichkeria]

Yes indeed. Don't change them to Canadian dollars. They'll work better for you as pounds in this country ...

[tonyav]

Below a pound here, EDDIE.
Consumer champion Martin Lewis, of MoneySavingExpert.com, launched a fierce attack on financial companies for taking advantage as one leading airport bought at 1.35 euros and sold at just 97 cents.
