ening your money'swarth
When visiting a
foreign. country, you'll
never get your k oney's
worth, if you don't know
what your money is
worth. By following a
few simple guidelines for
exchanging your money
for foreign currency, you
can save both time and
money when travelling
abroad.
It is a good practice to
try to calculate how
much 'you will be spec.
ding while away. If your
hotels are pre -paid, you
still need to estimate ex-
penditures for meals,
shopping, excursions
and transportation.
Closely estimating how
much money, you need.
can help keep you from
converting too much in-
to foreign currency.
However, if you do have
to convert additional
funds in the country you
may have to pay for ad-
ditional service charges.
Plan on purchasing as
much foreign currency
travellers cheques as
you need in the currency
of the country or coun-
tries you are visiting.
They are nearly as con-
venient as foreign cur-
rency because they can
be cashed, almost
everywhere since no cur-
rency conversion is re-
quired. Like Canadian or
U.S. dollar cheques,
they are a safeguard
against loss or theft of
your money during your
trip.
It is always a
idea to have some 13.8.
or Canadian dollar
travellers cheques in ad-
dition to foreign curren-
cy. A mix of both gives
you flexibility if the ex-
change changes to your
benefit.
When cashing your
Canadian & U.S.
travellers cheques
abroad, you should use a
main bank where you
will be given a com-
petitive rate. Hotels,
restaurants and shops
are not in the money
changing business and
are likely to give you a

lower rate of exchange.
A good rule of thumb
is to also carry with you
$50:01 to $100.00 worth
of local currency when
you arrive in a foreign
country. A supply of
$ 1.00 U.S. bills can also
be useful too as they are
recognized all, over the
e used as

tips.
On your way home,
try to convert as much
foreign currency into
U.S. or Canadian curren-
cy. It is often difficult to
find a bank in Canada
that will exchange
foreign currency.
However,, foreign cur-
rency travellers cheques
can be exchanged easily
upon your return.

ques are redeemable at
