    FXE is the easiest way to get electronic euros.

    If you want cash, it’s more difficult. The best way I know of is to go to Russia, they have currency exchange stations throughout major cities and exchange rates are often within 1% of spot price. If you find yourself in Europe, you can withdraw euros from your bank account using an ATM card, but your bank will probably charge you a foreign transaction fee on the order of 3%.

    FXE but you will pay taxes on gains. I don’t think you will get around paying commission and it will be for the full amount so taxes on gains may be less.

    Even credit cards like AMEX will charge 2% commision on foreign currency purchases.

    Your Visa or Mastercard probably offers better rates, than exchange offices. Order/buy AMEX travellers checks through your local office. Avoid hotel and airport exchange offices.

    the Bank of America.

    Before I went to Europe, I just went into my local B of A and ordered Euros. No commission, no mark up, just a straight exchange for dollars based on that days rates.

    I ordered the Euros, and The B of A notified me when the currency was in. I went to the bank and picked them up exchanging them for US dollars in my account.
