I’ve been doing that with my currency too!
Japan makes a lot of different size strong ziplock bags that are great for travel too (and even the perfect size for small things, like waterproofing your credit card or passport in your pocket, etc…I like them for when I run and want to sweatproof some cash :). You can find a ton of sizes at Tokyu Hands! 🙂

In reply to Dariece – Goats On The Road.

@Dariece: I never thought of putting my tea or instant coffee in them but you’re right. They’re perfect for those too! I’ll bet there’s over a 100 uses for ziploc bags; and yes on the see-through part. Visibility is soo convenient. =)

In reply to Agness. @Agness: ATM/credit cards are ideal but I guess I go to too many countries that are cash-based. =)

Nice! We use ZipLocs for books, food (tea bags, instant coffee, small stuff like that), my “bathroom bag” is a ZipLoc bag also! They are the best travel packaging, plus, the best part is that they’re see-through so you can actually see what you’re trying to pull out.

Brilliant!
Thanks for the idea about putting money in them, good call.

Cheers!

Separating your currencies to individual bags sounds like an awesome idea. I never did that actually. I always use my debit/credit card and leave the leftover change in my pocket.
