Sorry to hear about your loss. I have been watching Crown prior to ordering currency for a trip in November, glad I did not place the order now

hand over the cash

Simple.. walk in to a travel agency .. hand them the debt card or cash and get cash on the spot..same with the post office.

All that hoping to save a few Euros in fluctuations is now gone for this trip and many more I would think.

Lesson here folks.. trust no one.. :Angry:

I sympathise with anyone losing money when companies go bust.
I've never had a problem with the Post Office.
In the past I have had USD, Turkish Lira, Drachmas, Euro and Malaysian Ringit from them.
Quick, efficeint and cheaper than a bank / travel agent.

Blimey - your going back - Drachmae!!

Euros - Tesco is usually about the best for us locally, it is handy, you can park and there is a cashpoint adjacent because they charge for cards - yes, even for a Debit Card.

However, Aus $ and Malaysian Wingnuts (sorry, that's what our family in Aus call em, so ...) we have had to go to the PO anyway as Tesco's don't usually have such 'exotic' things about them.

Used them last month seems, I was lucky not to loose my money .Will use a more established source next time

Sorry.
Just been informed by higher authority:
Not Drachma, that was at the airport.
