You're MUCH better getting the money out at an ATM overseas instead of ordering Euro's at your bank here. They'll charge you a 4-5% fee for doing so.

Now ask them what the exchange rate is.

Many banks will tell you that there is no "fee" or "commission", but they will rig the exchange rate in their favor.
