However, for those Britons who hold foreign currency in cash, experts have said it’s best to simply hold on to the money at this time.
Ian Strafford-Taylor, CEO of Equals (formerly known as FairFX), said: “We’ve found that on average people return from holiday with around £177 worth of leftover currency.”
However, he added: “If they can, holidaymakers might want to keep hold of their currency until their next trip and use it then.”
“For those using prepaid currency cards, they can spend their money back in the UK online or in stores, keep it for their next trip, or change it to a different currency altogether.”
