Living in Europe, This problem comes up rather often for me.
I have the choice of :
- wiring money from my bank, in the proper currency
- going to the post to get a "guaranteed cheque" (Teller's Cheque?)
- going to my bank and getting cash in the proper currency
- going to my bank and getting a travellors cheque in the proper currency
I have found the last solution to be the easiest, and the least expensive.
(Unless the amount is something like $10.05 : the smallest denomination
for travellor's cheques is normally around $10-$15, depending on currency)
