You should thank me. I triggered that rise in the pound / dollar by exchanging a significant amount last Tuesday at 46. It had been lingering at around 46 for a while and I needed the pesos. After I exchanged it started rising and ended the week at around 46.75 for the dollar. I got about 8000 pesos less on Tuesday than I could have gotten on Friday! Ouch! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RBM Posted April 24, 2016 Posted April 24, 2016 Wonder if its the pound rising or the peso becoming jittery with elections looming. The kiwi and aussie are also up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Around 65.5 through Azimo and they charged me 4 quid for the transaction. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When it is a higher exchange rate it makes drinking more affordable. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sander Martin Posted April 25, 2016 Posted April 25, 2016 (edited) Euro also up. Feels like when USD is going up GBP/aud/euro go down and vise versa. Edited April 25, 2016 by Sander Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mogo51 Posted April 25, 2016 Posted April 25, 2016 Further to this gents, heads up please whether I should change more money here in Angeles as opposed to Iloilo and Dumaguete. I just got 36.8p for Oz$? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
