To give you an idea of currencies that we have on hand here are our Top Ten selling currencies for this year. We always try to make sure that we have enough of these currencies to cover demand, if we do sell out there will definitely be some more coming in at most a day or two. 

As you can see there are a lot of the same currencies that come up but there are some seasonal differences which we take into account when setting our stock levels.

This seasonality includes:

1. European Summer
2. Canadian Coach touring season 
3. New Zealand Summer
4. Japanese Skiing season
5. Anzac Day (Turkish Lire)
6. Sporting events (eg Soccer World Cup, Olympics, Bledisloe Cup in Japan)
