    If anyone has some leftover paper money from any of the above, send me a PM and we can maybe exchange it directly for metal.

    Ck.

    Now there's a neat set of FX/PM prices and margins to deal with!

    Look out Thomas Cook!

    Buying paper CK? ;)

    I admit I'd actually love a good condition USD 1 dollar bill for collection' sake, but I am interested as to why you'd be chasing fiat atm CK, especially with a sig like that!

    hehe

    Just have a few family members travelling.

    Figured it doesn't make sense for two parties to pay exorbitant foreign exchange fees when they can just meet and swap.

    They're not for me :)

    You're always paying commission to a money shifter, that's his business. It's just a matter of form - an outright fee or hidden within the exchange rate. Usually both.
