Yes, and hotel receptionists are often pretty good at finding change - after all it is their mates who are going to benefit. I suppose they then change the waiters and porters singles back to fives and tens for them and keep the singles in circulation. This next trip we are going on is to Egypt; preliminary documentation recommends dollars for tips, but I don't anticipate being able to obtain any there, so I thought I would try and take a fair few with me - if I end up not using them I will still be able to use them on next trip to the Caribbean or States.
