Default ATM's.......

Are there ATM's in Europe?

And if so, do they dispense real USA greenbacks? I don't want to have to carry around
those crummy little drachma, florin, and centime coins!

There are way many more ATM's in Europe then there are here, and no they do not
usually give dollars, only local currency. As an added treat, not only do you usually
get an excellent exchange rate, many US banks don't add on a service fee, so it's
actually less expensive to get money there then it is here.

If for some reason your bank isn't using a 4 digit PIN number, call and get one
before trying to use your card overseas.

By the way, ATM's don't dispense coins.

Yes, and Europe has also just received electricity and running water. Not sure if
they plan to introduce those TV thingy's though.

The dispense local currency, which is Euros in most countries. That way the locals
don't have to put up with crummy nickels, dimes, and quarters.

But the problem is even when greg trolls, some poor soul heading over to Europe will
believe there are not ATM's and carry a bag full of cash with them, so you have to
answer for the lurkers who fall for his garbage.

Yep. That's the difference between people such as you who try to help and bozos such
as Greg who perform public mental masturbation.

Not to worry! I've yet to encounter an ATM anywhere that dispenses coins. However you
might have a little difficulty SPENDING "real USA greenbacks" anywhere but in the
USA, so I suggest you settle for the euro (or whatever currency is in use where you
find the ATM machine).

There are ATM's all over Europe.....However, they dispense local currency only. They
are very convienient. I don't carry traveler's checks anymore as I can get more money
at a machine. The rate of exchange is the best you can get as it is bank rates as of
the moment you withdraw cash. If you don't want to carry around too much change, use
it up and take out only what you need.

Oh lighten up ; - ) Anyone with the wherewithal to plan a trip to Europe already
knows that there are ATM's over there. In any case they would have already picked up
a guide book, which would have given them all the information they would need. I
thought it was funny that no one slammed the guy for asking such a ridiculous
question. "Do the dispense real USA greenbacks?" Gotta love it.

In Russia, many ATMs give you a choice of dollars or rubles.

Actually I would suggest that you stay just where you are. People in Europe don't
really want to host small minded people like you.

Yes... BUT BIG WARNING - they have no option for instructions in American, therefore
its unlikely you will be able to use them unless you speak one of the world languages
in use in Europe

Sometimes the temptation is just far to great to ignore.
