Way before the euro, 1976, my father and me travelled to the UK. The 
amount of money in bills we were allowed to take out of the country was 
limited by law. My father took a bank cheque to cash in London or 
Birmingham, and it was not easy. I think that we had to find the office 
of our Spanish bank in London, the Santander (BSCH now).

In retrospect, I wonder why not use a credit card, but we did not have 
any. I do not know why.

On other trips, we used traveller cheques, those were new but easy to use.
