I've been considering the same idea - acquiring physical currencies from countries that aren't traded. But there are two problems that I found:

1. Hard to find. This was my main problem... where do you find these currencies?

2. Liquidity and convenience. In the FOREX markets you can simply click and have your money instantly converted. Trading physical currency requires the additional effort of manual conversion and perhaps even less liquidity (in larger amounts).
