generous 27 Feb 2008 / #6If I posted a cheque from here, UK, to a Polish national would it cause them problems.the cheque would be in GB pounds ( £ ) from a large international bank drawn on a UK based account from a UK resident.

Wroclaw Boy 10 Jul 2008 / #9If you have the abilty the best exchange rates can be obtained from Kantors (exchange shops in Poland) I was quoted 4.28 from my FX company but managed to get 4.21 PLN - 1.00 GBP over the counter, only problem is you have to carry cash around with you.
