Currency question?! Don’t know much about it :S help?

I want to change GB sterling into $50. I don’t need it until september, would it be better (Cheaper basically) to change it now or then?

Thank you in advance!

  1. That’s a tough question. It all depends on how the rates change between now and September.

    The good news is that you are exchanging a pretty small sum. So the exchange rate won’t make it drastically cheaper or more expensive.

    For Example
    According to Google $50 would cost you about 31.23 pounds today. This is about $1.6 per Pound.

    If the rate changed to say $1.3 per Pound it would cost you 38 Pounds.

    If it went the other way and went to $1.9 per Pound it would cost you 26 Pounds

    Those 2 examples are a 20% change either way. Which would be a pretty big change between now and September.

    So you are looking at either a swing of about 5-7 Pounds up or down way. In my book that’s not a HUGE difference and it probably doesn’t matter.

    If you were exchanging say 5000 dollars you might be talking about a 500-700 pound difference which would matter.
