You can put two capacitors of other values in parallel and the values add up.  In this case, .22 and .47 (common) would add to give you .69, which is probably within the 5% or 10% tolerance of a .68uf cap anyway.  Hope that helps.

Of course I should have some for sale soon cheap though I'm sure you don't want to wait that long.
