TRAVEL TIP: Pound Coins and Exchange Rates

If you travel to Scotland remember there are ATMs all around the world. What I do is wait until I get to Glasgow and then withdraw the money from the ATM right there. I get a much better rate than if I was to get money from a US Bank or Currency Exchange shops. The Currency Exchange shops will rip you off. Don't think about it. Use the ATMs and withdraw, however, let your bank know you are traveling overseas or else they could stop your card from being used and then you will spend a day on the phone trying to solve that problem.

Now another suggestion is once you get your money, go to the Starbucks at the airport and get a coffee. Ask for as much change in pound coins you can get. You'll need the coins for buses and pretty much a lot of things. Just a suggestion, but if you are going on a bus any time soon you need to stock up on the coins.
