I do not know if this works in reverse or not but while living in Australia and being paid in the US I often used my US ATM card at an Australian ATM and converted currency that way.

My US bank did not charge me any fees (and neither did the Australian Bank) and the exchange rate I received on the conversion seemed to be as good as any I could find...sure I was limited to USD$400 worth of money at a time but what the heck, the $AUD was trading at about 0.48 then so a single transaction bought a lot of meat pies!

I often find that for converting smaller amounts of $USD using an ATM turns out pretty good...compared to converting money other ways.

Good Luck!
