Buy before you fly
Benefits of planning ahead
You can order and pick up your Zloty before you jet off to Poland, to make sure you have enough for essentials, such as snacks, transport, food, water and, of course, fun times with friends and family.
It can be worth buying in advance, so you know exactly how much Zloty you’re getting for your Pounds. Leaving it last minute can make it harder to budget, because exchange rates can change at short notice.
Get your currency when it’s convenient for you
You can use Click & Collect to arrange a time to pick up your Zloty as part of your weekly shop, either from a Tesco Travel Money bureau or customer service desks. You can also use our home delivery service, which is free for online orders of £500 or more.
Exchange rates can change throughout the day and may vary depending on whether you buy in-store, online, or over the phone.
Some common questions about the Polish Zloty
The Polish Zloty is the official currency of Poland and dates all the way back to the 14th century. Its symbol is zł and is abbreviated to PLN.
One Zloty is subdivided into 100 Groszy, in the same way a British Pound can be broken down into 100 pennies. The symbol for a Groszy is gr.
The lowest value Zloty banknote is 10zł and the highest is 500zl. 20, 50, 100 and 200zł notes are also available. You can also get Zloty coins in 1, 2 and 5zł denominations. When it comes to Groszy, you’ll find there are 1, 2, 5, 10, 20 and 50gr coins.
The Polish Zloty is only used in Poland, where it’s the official currency. In some popular tourist areas, you may find shops or restaurants that accept Euros, but the exchange rate often isn’t favourable. It’s a good idea to use Polish Zloty when visiting Poland.
Tipping isn’t expected in Poland, but it’s often appreciated. The most common place to tip is in a restaurant or bar and around 10-15% is the average amount. It’s generally easier to tip in cash as there may not be a way to add a tip to your card payment. You may also find cafes and restaurants with tip jars, suitable for dropping in a few Zloty coins.
You won’t be expected to tip for taxis, haircuts or at a health spa service, but you can if you’d like.
