Buying international money before you go

If your heading overseas, your going to need some cash in the national currency shortly after stepping off the plane.

You can either use your bank or currency exchange business, but these attract fees. Getting your currency exchanged is fee free at the Post Office.

If purchased before 12am, this can usually be turned around by the next day.

I wanted around US$300 for the first couple of day things like tipping the airport to accommodation taxi driver. This cost A$341.06 for US$305.
