For Iran I'm taking some € in cash, apparently they are more than happy taking them. For the other countries I'm taking mainly plastic, some € travellers cheques (for places without ATMs) and whatever is left of my € cash. I will probably take 200 US$ with me, should be enough for emergencies.

Off tomorrow morning!

ATM's in Iran not connected to international banking systems thanks to US sanctions..... also can not cash travellers cheques there.

the upshot is you need to have enough cash with you for Iran - yankee dollars preferably....

In Pakistan, India, Nepal, etc ther are ATM's where you can draw funds in local currency.
