    You would need to order them in any quantity, a large specialist bureau de change would usually have some in stock though.

    As its a sort-of niche currency you are realistically limited to the banks and specialists. First thing to check is to see if your bank offers fee-free conversion for account holders, this isn't that common anymore though. CZK is often shown on the price boards in banks.

    I have a mastercard CC with BOI. I think it is still the case that if your card is in credit you are able to withdraw from ATMs abroad without fees, and get a reasonable rate.

    So I do not have to carry lots of cash around and do not have to overestimate how much money I need in case I run out. I just put plenty of money on the card before I go.
