Your bank or credit card will be the easiest and cheapest way to get local currency.
Just make sure you check beforehand with them on their conversion fees, which usually range from 1% to 3% and can make cards more expensive than changing hard currency. Ask specifically because companies (AMEX I'm looking at you) are notorious for not disclosing them.
I was always planning to use my ATM card supplemented by my credit card. And then I spent an hour reading about ATM-card scams. I'm still planning to use my ATM card, since it seems to be the best option. But now I'm paranoid about it.
The ATM card usually gets you the best rate.
Re: how to dismantle a bomb
If they get too close to one another, the combined critical mass will flood the area with radiation, and you will die.
Uh, no. They're right next to each other in the bomb. If that were the case, you wouldn't need these instructions because of the already being dead.

Ginger, you should drop that guy a line.

You can get the instructions on the internet. Then you go to WalMart and buy two pieces of perfectly machined plutonium and Bob's your uncle.

No, in a uranium bomb, the two pieces of uranium sit at opposite ends of the bomb. When the bomb goes off, conventional explosives push the two pieces of uranium together, achieving critical mass and setting off the chain reaction. If you place the two pieces of uranium together by hand, it won't explode in a big mushroom cloud, but the uranium will melt or vaporize and it will produce enough radiation to kill anyone nearby.
I was quoting the Barney Miller episode where a kid made an atom bomb as a science project.

My husband would run screaming in the other direction if he ever came across that bug/creature/thing! I'm not usually bug-phobic but I'm pretty sure I'd be right behind him.

OMG this was a movie too! In the movie, the kid stole the uranium from a military-guarded installation (not specifically working on bombs) and replaced it with Prell.
Kid really really wanted to win the science fair. Mayhem ensued.
