What's the best way to buy foreign currency?

If you need to buy foreign currency, the 3 most common ways to do it are:

  1. Ordering it online
  2. Heading into a currency exchange store
  3. Buying it overseas

Ordering currency online is the cheapest way to buy foreign currency but it's still not as fast as heading into a store. The rates online are typically better than a store because there are no overhead costs of running a bricks and mortar store. It's also a lot easier to see what rate you'll actually get rather than having to haggle for a better deal.

Buying currency overseas can be cheaper if you are heading to a destination like Singapore, Bali or Thailand. Even then, you need to track down the best places to exchange money on foot.
