One Dollar Bills in UK?

Does anyone know if it is possible to get one dollar bills anywhere in the UK? I'm based just outside of Edinburgh.

I like to have my envelopes ready with tips for Mousekeeping etc before I travel, and I know I did this the first year we went to Disney, but I can't for the life of me think where I got the one dollar bills from.

Thank you!

I usually get a good selection of bills including $1's from our Tesco in store currency booth.

M&S at South Gyle should be ok. Also slightly better rate if you use an M&S credit card

Normally not a problem at any currency exchange, just ask for small bills. Although mine had run out of dollars when I last exchanged as there wasn't enough demand to keep much stock on hand.

About 5 years ago I wandered up to the Currency Exchange place at Gatwick and asked if they would swap a $20 bill for 20 X $1 bills.

They were happy to do it and no charge.

I’m a cash man in the US and always have a stash of $1 bills in my back pocket. Normally start of with $10 from the currency exchange and then just add to them when buying other things.

Given the other threads about the lack of Mousekeeping, you won't need too many
