Since the general discussion seems to point at ATM's a the best way to
access money in foreign countries I took a look at a credit card statement
and found this little item:
"'For foreign currency transactions, the foreign currency (if it is not
already in US dollars) will first be converted to US dollars and then to
Canadian dollars before it is recorded in the Account."
Any other reason for this besides earning even more money than if converting
directly to Canadian dollars?
