I did a sample foreign currency buy on the travelex site, but the commission/spread they charge is very prohibitive. It showed a commission of about $800 on a $10,000 buy of Bahamiam $, which should be on par with the USD. There is no option to buy USD with USD.

Not sure how the Australian guy did it without paying tens of thousands in fees...do you have any more info, Ozstamps?
