I'm not sure about what difference changing pounds might make compared to Canadian dollars but by changing CAD to USD before a trip I save upwards to 6% depending on the current relationship between currencies.
Of course using the
ATM is almost as good most of the time even figuring in fees but one runs the risk of losing your card or not getting cash from the machine...which happens just enough to be a pain in the ass. The current workaround of using the
ATM in Rocky's works well for US and Canadian guys though. Not sure if it would be advantages for those dealing in pounds. perhaps Rick or Jesse can share an opinion.
