No harm to land with a few zloty in the pocket to pay the taxi / train / bus / brasser (delete as appropriate) and get through the first day

Good thread DOC.i was wondering about that currency.that international exchange rate xe.com is good for up to date value on the currencies.

Lads would it be advisable to bring even 50 euros worth of zloty before you exchange the rest in poland?

Change your money over there in shops similar to Bureau de Change.
They give the best rates, wont ever get less than 4zl to the euro.  Anytime I am in Poland, I bring Euros and change when I am there.

Even if you got 20 quid a week or go once a month with 80e it will save you money when it comes to it

Lads I have about €200 in zolty I got it at the rate of €1 = 4.5 zl (one month ago)

I'm buying it a few quid a week and i went to the bank yesterday and got a rate of 3.9 zl that's a decent drop in value so just some advise to buy a bit each week as oppose to buying a lump when before you go and getting a sh*te rate of god forbid 2 zl or lower. It shouldn't go that low but with the demand for the currency it's possible.

I know the post office don't charge comission on stg and usd but I don't know if the have polish zl.
