Just a quick warning to all Brits taking Sterling notes into Polish banks.
I took over a fair wad of cash and had around 10% handed back to me because there was writing (pen or pencil) on the notes. I then had to find a kantor to convert these into PLN before I could deposit them.
I asked why the bank refused them and the teller was very nice, but said the central office will discipline the teller if they allow any blemished notes through.
I know we're all very used to writing on our cash here in the UK so it came as a bit of a shock!
Hope this helps some people
