The Post Office has compared currency sales during the first three months of 2022 with the same period in 2020. It found that UK holidaymakers were now buying foreign currency at “far higher levels” than before the Covid-19 pandemic first took hold in March 2020.
While the euro and US dollar remain “by far” the most popular currencies with UK holidaymakers, the Croatian kuna has seen the largest increase (137%) on 2020 sales.
Also seeing major rises in sales are the Barbados dollar (up by 107%), Jamaican dollar (+103%) and the Mexican peso (+91%).
