Beer tokens

folks i'm a bit muddled here - went to a few different banks to get levs and they said that nobody deals with that currency and not to bring any back cos you wont be able to change it - they said euo is fine but people on here are saying the bars wont take it ?? do they take sterling in the bars ? getting into pamps late tomorrow nite and want to hit the bars straight off, dont want to be standing outside the bar with a bunch of euros and a dry tongue

re: Beer tokens

Ah might be a problem in Ireland then. Never used Euro's in Pamps so can't comment but I don't think that the bars will take them. But you should have no trouble exchangin them in your hotel.

re: Beer tokens

They take levs in bars no sterling no euros. There are many places you can get levs but a lot of travel agents in the town where I live do not keep them in stock they have to order them in which takes a few days. If you bring notes back you should be able to change them back. See previous posts to find out where to get levs in Bulgaria.

re: Beer tokens

Some banks in the uk might not deal with that currency. All of the Travel agents in the uk who have a burea will have Levs. Marks and spencer have the best rates com free. I got mine from the internet yesterday from travelex.co.uk. The also have the best rate comm free and you pick it up from the Airport. Great System. Give it a try

I think Procman is having a problem because he is in Eire not england.

re: Beer tokens

Being from N ireland, i have an insight in both.

Euros can be changed in any of the resorts/hotels to levs.
Rate of aprox 1.9 per euro.
If your in the south, dont exchange your euro into sterling then in lev. Potentially 2 exchange commissions.

In regards of getting in late, your hotel reception will change a few for you. Not A Problem.

If your from N Ireland or scotland, make sure it is Bank of England notes otherwise the sterling rate is crazy low
