A recent UK survey for the Department for Education found
that of over 1,000 adults found 30% felt unable to compare
rates in exchange bureaux. A similar proportion said they
were not comfortable converting foreign currency into
sterling. Over a fifth of those surveyed admitted they had
wrongly calculated how much they spent on holiday, with 12%
saying they had run out of money.
