| BE CAREFUL US notes all look the same and are the same
size and colour, always check when using your money. I have to say though most people
in Florida would not rip you off.
I would advise that you take around $300 in cash and the rest in travellers cheques.
Travellers cheques are very widely accepted (I have never been refused). |

ATMs - Cash Machines
Most banks have automated teller machines (ATMs) located at their branches as
well as at other convenient non-branch locations throughout their local areas for
quick and easy withdrawal of cash. Depending on your ATM card you may have to
pay one or more fees for a cash withdrawal outside your home area.
You can check the logos on your ATM card to see which of the payment services
your card is compatible with. Then check these against the logos displayed on
your local ATM to see if your card will work on this particular ATM.
If you take British money and want to exchange it in Florida, here are a few place
