Money exchange question.

Question

I am wanting to visit the UK to visit and maybe move there..

I know if I would move there I would learn to use what ever type of money is over there but while I am visiting can I use US money or do I need to exchange it..?

Answer 1

You need to exchange it . The best place to change it is at any Post Office . Good rate and no commission .

Answer 2

I think that person might be mistaken, a dollar is near double what a pound is worth so £1 is worht around $1.93 dollars or $1 would be wort about 50pennies , at the moment with the exchange rate being S**T. BUT like they said you do need to exchange your money. =D

Answer 3

You definitely need to exchange the money. The only places where you can use US dollars are stores in the airport. I would recommend using pounds in the airport since they always round up to the nearest dollar.  

Answer 4

Lol, no you have to use our money (known as pounds and represented by the '£' sign) regardless of whether or not you're visiting or actually living here.  I don't think I know of anywhere in this country (including my hometown of London) that accepts US dollars.  Think about it - do shops in the US accept British pounds?  Therefore, why would we accepts US dollars?

Answer 5

You can only use Brititsh Pounds. $1 equals 1.93 British Pounds, so thing cost more there. It is easy to change money, try the airport or any bank.
