[lace] foreign currency
Hi Liz, Whenever I go to the USA (to a casino occasionally) they ask if I have more than $10,000. with me. There is also a big sign posted that anything more than $10,000 must be declared. I usually get the same question returning into Canada. (I wish I was bringing home $10,000). So I think that anything under $10,000 is okay. So if you were to bring $9,999. you would be fine, that should get you a few lace bit and pieces quite nicely!!! Have a great trip, Irene Whitham Surrey, BC Canada - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: [lace] foreign currency and credit cards
However, travelers, keep in mind that not all lace suppliers can accept credit cards. Small businesses can't afford the credit card charges, which can be as much as 75 cents per transaction. Robin P.

RE: [lace] foreign currency
An ATM card is the bestwe call them ATM cards in the US, it's the card you can take to an automatic teller and get cash, most double as a credit card. there you have the best of both worlds...but a word of warningIOLI has been known to empty the hotel money machines...so get at least some of your cash at the airport. See you there!

[lace] foreign currency
Hotels have ATMs into which one can feed the plastic (credit/debit card) and get cash. Many foreign banks give their own debit cards - not a Visa or Mastercard. My Debit cards are Visa and the only sterling we enter England with is enough for tips and incidentals until we get to the village we stay in. We use the ATMs and the exchange rate is much better than money-changing venues.

[lace] Foreign currency etc.
Does anyone know what the limit is for bringing Currency into USA? I know I am not allowed to leave Australia with more then $10,000 !!, but I am wondering what I am allowed to bring in to the States. (I intend having a big shopping spree, - but not That big!!! :)) ) Also - are there any other DH's going to Denver. My DH is worried in case he is the only one there! I think he is looking for another man to talk to - Men's business. He won't last a full week on Lace, that's for sure! :) Regards from Liz in Melbourne, Oz [EMAIL PROTECTED] - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
