British monetary knowledge
Paper money is usually used to pay rent and shop; Coins are mainly used for traveling, making phone calls and changing money. In London, it is very convenient to change money, and there are money exchange offices everywhere. The pound can be freely exchanged with other currencies without showing any certificates or ID cards. The area of money exchange offices is generally relatively small, some only 6 to 7 square meters, and the appearance and decoration are also very ordinary, unlike the luxurious facades of many domestic financial institutions. However, these money exchange offices are all legally operated, and the quotations of the world's major currencies will be marked at the door that day. However, it should be noted that the exchange rate may be slightly different in different money exchange offices in London, so you can go to more places to compare when changing money. In addition, I need to ask if there is any handling fee, and if so, how much. Both the station and the airport have 24-hour money exchange offices, but the price is slightly higher and there will be a handling fee. Besides, when you really arrive in Britain, you will find that 50 pounds is very rare. Usually, 20 pounds will make people frown, because they will think it is a lot of money. Credit cards are also widely used in Britain, which means that when you buy chocolate in a small supermarket, you can also swipe your card. So his credit card system is very convenient. In this case, you must prepare some small change when you go out, such as 10 yuan and 5 yuan.
