Hi there.
I've just came across some holiday cash that I'd left over from last year and I was wondering if it was possible to use it to buy currency for my forthcoming holiday WITHOUT first having to change it back into Sterling.The purpose of this is to save paying commission twice.
Many thanks for any info given.

Assuming that what you have is respected why not take it with you and change it direct when you get there thus avoiding Sterling altogether? or is it in small amounts of mixed currencies (like I have), which can't be pooled together and none are worth much on their own?
The problem I have, is that I have about 50 quids worth of Tunisian Dinars which is supposed to be a closed currency (I got some from Thomas Cook last year), I doubt if a Bureau De Change will accept them abroad as they shouldn' thave been taken out of Tunisia in the First place!

Ah, I can see your problem. Your best bet would be to find someone who is going there and sell it to them unless you happen to be going near one of the ports with a ferry service to Tunisia, in which case the change offices there might take it, but that's a bit of a limited option.
Cheers for the reply.I might actually just end up holding on to it.I've been to Tunisia 3 times in the last 3 years so there is every chance I'll end up going back even if it's just to spend this money!

I don't know about this currency but it'll only take you a quick search to find out!
