With my bank plan, I can get free bank drafts in Euro (I live in Canada), but people in Germany have told me that it is expensive to cash them.  I have found that the best way to purchase things in Europe (U.K. is not too hard) is to mail cash that I buy at Thomas Cook's.  Anyway who expects idiots to mail cash in the mail anyway?  :-D  That's probably why it's relatively secure.

I'll have to win the lottery before I send $1000 in the mail.  Offtimes it's just 20-30 Euro for a smallish piece of kit or software.  Anyway for $10 I can buy 5 McDonald's burgers on special.
