Answer:
Whatever is contrary to the ruling, you take and buy the currency you want to buy from here and transfer it to the country where your children are. Transferring is permissible; there is no harm in banks or in other means. People need this, and there is no riba (usury or interest) in transferring. There is no riba in transferring.
