I'm lucky in that my sister works for a bank (U.S.) and was able to get a bank draft in Canadian currency for me. So the banks should be able to do it, they just may not want to. If they are able to exchange currency, there's no reason they can't do a bank draft for it. Have you spoken to managers? I would press with the exchange currency place. Again, it seems unreasonable for them to put up a fuss. I also encountered reluctance, which was mostly laziness, but if you push, you should be able to do it. I wish I had better suggestions but good luck.
