This will be rates for having notes delivered to you in a safe manner (or you go pick them up somewhere). Cannot compare that to rates set for just changing currencies in electronic form. What would be cost if there were e-gold notes, and you would order them from any of the e-gold axchange providers? If you exchange Euros into $ without having notes delivered to you, the cost is less than 1%. For bigger amounts (over $10000) the costs will be even less, usually 4 or 5 pips, wich means you buy 1 Euro for 1.1347 US$ and you can sell them for 1.1342 US$ Now you can compare with e-gold exchange fees..
