Is there a way to find ATMs in Georgia (the country) which can dispense Euro or US dollars?
Here and there I've seen some ATMs in Georgia (the country) which give a choice of currency rather than just offering Georgian lari (GEL) like the majority of ATMs.
In fact I can no longer remember whether the ones I saw offered also Euro (EUR) or American dollars (USD), only that I've been offered a choice sometimes and always just wanted the local currency.
But now I'm about to make my final withdrawal in the country and as the Turkish visa-on-arrival must be paid in either EUR or USD I'd like to get some in advance since I'm heading that way soon.
So what I need is a website that tells me where the ATMs that give out either foreign currency are located. I know about ATM locators for Visa or Cirrus, etc. But is there also a resource for ATMs in Georgia with the further details I need?
Best Answer
According to some forums on the Caucuses on Thorn Tree:
in Tbilisi I know for a fact that TBC Bank and VTB have ATMs dispensing dollars because I use them all the time.
So going with that, we have VTB's English website, which conveniently has an ATM locator!
So based on that, it should give a pretty good basis for finding them.

Does Georgia use euro?
The currency in Georgia is the Georgian Lari. Although prices are occasionally quoted in US dollars and euros, Georgian law requires that all goods and services are paid for in local currency. Credit and debit cards are widely used in Tbilisi, but less so in the regions. ATMs can be found in major towns.What currency can you use in Georgia?

Answer 2
If you withdraw US dollars, almost all banks allow their ATMs to withdraw USD (except for VTB bank, which allows it only to their customers).
Very few banks and ATMs allow withdrawing EUR (€) with foreign bank cards. There are only 2 banks (as of November 2020): ProCredit and TBC. I have added more detailed info about withdrawing euro in Georgia to WikiVoyage.
