Really? Times change...so when did that law change for USA banks? I checked the exchange rates in the WSJ. Then I walked to the FDIC insured bank I used at the time. I gave 'em greenbacks, and according to the exchange rate published, I got the same exact same amount of money handed to me, converted to the Swiss Franc currency of the day... I figured that was best, since at the time, the Swiss Franc was the only european currency that was at least partially backed by gold. Also, for this trip, I wasn't sure where in Europe I'd want to tour. RallyJon, would you care to explain more? Thing may be much different today.
