    Am heading off to China next week, and went in to a couple of banks in Dublin last Friday to get some currency (Renminbi) and was told that they didnt have any!!, they recommened that I go to one of the foreign exchange bureaus, which I didnt have time to do so on the day, just wondering if anybody has been away recently or being to China, which one that they would recommend, is there a big difference in the commission that they charge, thanks.

    I used my atm card but you will probably need to inform your bank that you will be over there.

    I think I ordered some through the CU but took a week or so get it for me.

    Which were are you flying there?

    Might be able to pick some up on your stop over if you have time

    I just used my ATM card over there.

    An odd time I've used Thomas Cook to buy currency because they'll exchange anything you have left over without commission.
