I am no expert, but it seems to me that most large banks or those banks affiliated with a large bank could convert your dollars into pounds or punts and then be able to sell you a money order for that amount. I believe American Express also has a similar service. Have you tried to see if Visa is acceptable. I spent a month in the UK last year and only a few out of the way places did not accept Visa. ==== SCT-EDINBURGH Mailing List ==== >To unsubscribe from list mode, send a new email to sct-edinburgh-l-request@rootsweb.com and put the word unsubscribe in the message box.
