Due to international sanctions, traveller's cheques and credit cards are useless in Iran; only dollars and euro are accepted, and only then in a small number of banks and a smaller number of branches of those banks. Once inside a bank that will change money, it'll be a good half-hour of queueing and endless form-filling before I'll get to see my Iranian rials.
The rest of the time I'll have my readies stashed about my person - not a prospect that fills me with delight. At least Aisling will have her gown as an extra layer of protection against pickpockets.
