ATM cards work best, but you really do need to check with your bank about the fees they charge (some charge $3-5 a transaction when used outside the U.S.). My bank exchanges at the daily bank rate with no fees (and will rebate foriegn ATM fees up to $1.50), and there's certainly a bunch of others out there if you need to avoid a fee. You need to do some homework.
