According to Travelex, the sterling was down 0.7 per cent against the dollar and dropped in value against the euro from 1.1097 euros to a pound to 1.1102 euros.

Those considering travelling to the US or Europe in the future may want to consider keeping an eye on exchange rate changes and locking into a good rate when it emerges.

This can be done using a prepaid currency card from providers such as Caxton FX, Fair FX and O2.

Locking into an exchange rate using a prepaid currency card can save travellers money on foreign exchange, giving them more money to save on vacation.

This can be much cheaper than buying currency last minute at the airport or on the high street.
