Which is better for british pound exchange?
I am planning a trip to London but the British Pound is killing the U.S. Dollar. Since I suck at math, I was wondering if you can help me out in this experiment.
I am located in Germany. (US Citizen)
It cost me .57 for 1 Euro
It cost me .00 for 1 British Pound.
1 Euro buys .79 British Pound
Do you think it is better to buy Euro and then exchange it to BP when I arrive in London?
Easy 10 Points.

No…you’ll pay two lots of commission, and don’t get any more money
100 USD / 1.57 = 63.69 EUR
63.69x 0.79 = GBP 50.31 before 2 x commission
100 USD / 2 = GBP 50.00 before 1 x commission
