Is anyone out there good with money and the such?

I have a decent amount of money in cheque form from Australian tax. I just did a quick converstion and it works out to be about £630 at the moment as the exchange rate is about £1 = $2.4.

However, im sure the exchange rate was about £1 = 2.2 not long ago. Which would be over £700.

OK, i just checked and it wasnt that low. It was 2.34 or something in january which would only give me an extra 30 quid or something. Ive had a look at the graph for the last 120 days and it does appear to be going down. I just dont know that much about this type of thing.

Question is, should i hang off putting this into the bank or not? Anyone know anything about exchange rates etc?

So, how many Aussie dollars did you get?

The exchange rate in the street may/could/will be different that what your Bank will actually give you ... ask your bank.

Just plonk the money in and be grateful you are receiving and not giving.

You're right, might just plonk it in, the money is better in my bank than as a bit of paper on my desk!!

Yep, better in the bank getting some interest ... There is no 'real' money, it's is just paper.

oh, and 1 GBP = 2.46210 AUD ... but like I said, the Bank will have it's own rate of exchange.

I have never taken any 'money' on holidays abroad, I always use plastic.
