Upon visa-less immigration to Cost Rica, I would have to prove sufficient funds of $100 per month of residence (Source)

Since I don't expect them to have a dollar-giving ATM before immigration control at San Jose airport and my local currency is Euro, I wondered how I can prove that.

Euros are not accepted in Costa Rica I'd guess. Banks in my area could give me a $100 bill (but none of them could provide Colones yet), but does the next taxi driver have sufficient change to accept it? Or will immigration control accept any bank account report showing I have more than 100 Euro on it?
