The Zloty (Polish Currency)

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.

Ooooh ladee da. :)

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

You generally get a better rate in the country you are travelling to

Yeah irishmufc just bring enough to get you through the first day, most hotels will change currency but normally charge a little over the odds, as all ready said if you look around you will find the best rate in offical bureau de change

All will have exchange rate on show just shop around for best but in general very little between bank an bureau

there has been a significant slide in the euro value against the zloty in the last number of months alright - 4.5 to approx 3.92

I checked it in the bank of ireland thursday,the rate was 4.16 to the euro.

When in the Czech republic last summer I found using ATM's gave decent rates above the norm found in the banks and exchange shops. There were some exchange shops which did great deals but I couldn't be bothered spending hours finding them to get an extra few Koruna. I'm assuming it's a similar story in Poland?
