Hi all,

I just got back from my 10 day trip and hope to tell you all about it soon (had a wonderful time), but we found something in Dublin that I had not known before we left and wished that I did.

No bank in Dublin City will change US $100 bills.  There are signs at every bank stating this.  They will change $50 bills.  If you have to change $100's, you must go to an actual money exchange center, such as Thomas Cooke.  This is not a really big deal, but places like Thomas Cooke usually have a slightly less favorable rate, and charge a much higher commission than a bank. 

So, plan ahead and take $50's with you, or be prepared to lose a little more money in converting.  Outside of Dublin city it was no problem to change $100's. 

I have received many helpful tips from this board, and am happy to be able to share one!
