You stupid fuck. If you have listened to the people here, you would have withdrawn some cash and placed them in the safety deposit box weeks ago. Where were you? Iceland? Now go withdraw your money before they seal all the banks during the "bank holidays"

@114,

Each person is different, but a good rule of thumb is to pull out about 3 months worth of living expenses in cash. The physical type. You can not rely on your ATM debt card or your credit card to work.

The green paper with pictures of dead guys still work at most stores and is considered legal tender to pay your bills with.
