Actually, that sounds like a fair explanation, although I don't think 
there's any specific canon (so far) to support it. 
But Gringotts exchanges Muggle money for wizard money (CoS) 
and Hermione gets the Daily Prophet delivered to her over the 
summer holidays (PoA), so it seems likely the wizard world has 
learned to transfer goods and services to and from the Muggle 
world when needed.
