Best place/way to exchange money while abroad?

What's the best way? Going to USA and don't know whether to exchange here or withdraw from ATM there. Is there much of a difference?

Check that your bank doesn't charge you for using ATMs in the US.

There's typically a $3 charge at almost all ATM machines in the US to make a withdrawal, plus you must pay any additional currency conversion charges your bank has. Your cheapest option may be the An Post Foreign Exchange Credit Card.
