It is so long a time since I had to buy refreshments when in transit that I was totally lost when trying to answer their question.

It may be simply easier for your friend to apply for a credit card. It is ill advised to carry large amount of cash when travelling. Traveller cheques are not as readily acceptable as 20 years ago.
