Cheers. People who change cash into crypto or move cash abroad charge a higher % for Scottish notes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Currency exchange places in Ontario often give a slightly lower exchange rate for Scottish notes that's if they accept them at all tilly. I am changing some cash tomorrow, I will see how many BDC accept the notes. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Check out Revolut online account. They give really good exchange rates and the money stays in your Revolut account in a different currency. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
