[quote=Anonymous]My kid will be traveling to the UK soon with a school trip. They have a credit card but not an ATM card, so we want to get some local currency beforehand. Our credit union charges $17 shipping to order currency, and we really don't need more than 75-100 pounds, so that doesn't seem worth it. We could make a trip to the currency exchange at the airport in advance, and may do that. However, in particular we are hoping to get 1 pound and 2 pound coins as well as paper money, and I'm not sure that's available at the airport exchange (and I know it's not available through the currency purchase at the credit union). My kid collects those commemorative coins you can find at tourist spots, and they are often in vending-type machines that require coins. Does anyone have tips on how to get hands on British pound coins (not historical ones - current tender) while still in the US? TIA![/quote]
