Do you have a local American Express office? I use them for the rare 
occasions that I need a piece of paper worth foreign currency; their 
rates are reasonable and few people have problems accepting their money 
orders. Admittedly, most of what I use them for is to pay for stuff in 
US dollars, but I'm sure it works the other way around.

Or what about Western Union?
