UK travellers' currency guide leaflet (2) - 1955
Ah, the days when foreign travel was an adventure - and if we think that today's trip through an internation airport has become a tedious chore, what we don't recall in the days before credit and debit cards was the hassle of taking money abroad. This stern warning issued in 1955 has a jolly, holiday ring to it - albeit, in 1955 foreign holiday travel for UK citizens was probably just picking up again after years of post-war austerity and a little while before 'package' holidays to Mediterreanean destinations really got going. I susepct it was the rich who travelled - or people making business trips.
