Has anyone seen the latest exchange rates for Canadian versus CUC or Euro?

I wonder if the rate will be much different. They do march to the beat of their own drums. I think there is a money exchange thread at Debbie's, wonder if these differ very much. Must go check.

The Canadian and the US dollar are an absolute nightmare ! I have never known it to be so bad against Sterling, I use to get $2.20 Canadian to £1 sterling, now I would be lucky to get $1.45 or so. I am heading to Chicago in July so I am hoping that something gives between now and then, it's not looking too good for us ''poor'' Brits wanting to come over the pond.  No Timmies for me this year !!

It was indeed awesome because last year in Cayo Santa Maria we paid $1.28!  On Friday we changed some money and the exchange was actually $1.119 so we were pretty excited!  Knew it was too good to last though!

Has it taken a climb?

Bren, I just checked the banco metropolitano rate today and 100 CAD will get you about 89 CUC

I just had a thought. What is you bought Canadian and then bought CUCS ?

Hi Jammy

No, it's a straight exchange rate from £ Sterling into the Dollar, both Canadian and US. It was only a year ago I was getting around $2.20 to the £, but both the US & Canadian $ has grown strongly whilst the £ has dipped in strength big time! So I was laughing all the way to the bank everytime I wanted to visit Canada or the US, now the laugh is on me !!

I've always felt the burn when I had to buy the UK pound, but now it's not as painful.
