Default Anyone recommend a Travel Money company that deals with unusual currencies?

So far I have spoken to the Post Office, Travelex, M&S Travel Money, Sainsburys Finance and ICE. Only 2 of them stock French Polynesian Francs (XPF/CFP).

Can anyone recommend someone else I can try that maybe specialises more in the unusual currencies?

Cheers
Simon

Thank you gentlemen but I dont think they have too many ATM's in Bora Bora

They certainly don't have any on the Motu's (Islands) where the resorts are.

Sainsburys were the most helpful so far and best rate (although much lower than what XE.com currently display).

Do you have a flight transfer? If you stop off you are most likely to get currency wherever you change flights.... Get it pre arranged there. Sorted.
