Checkpoints

Last year when I went to Australia, I purchased traveler’s checks and cash in Australian (dollars). This cost a few dollars but was a great convenience. It saved changing a few U.S. traveler’s checks at a time and always wondering what the exchange rate was.
I bought the Australian money at Deak International (now Thomas Cook Foreign Exchange). When I returned, they exchanged my leftover Australian money for U.S. money without charge.
