My CH experience and UPDATE for Switzerland!

13 Migros Bank ATMs in 11 cities (Basel 2x, Bern, Freiburg/Fribourg, Kreuzlingen {just across the border from Konstanz }, Neuchâtel, Lugano, Luzern, Winterthur, Zürich 2x+Wallisellen) have also "changeomat" option, where you can change euros into francs and back. Just be careful not to tear the banknotes! The machines have a really strong grip, so you have to pull strongly but not too much and not too fast. Fortunately I tore just francs For 15€ (from 20 CHF) they give 3x , dunno if it means they don't have . Look for $/€ mark in the list (on top of the page you can choose also French or Italian version)

Otherwise it's quite difficult to change money without commission, the easiest I found was Migros Bank agencies and Cantonal Bank for even smaller places, very likely also in Bank Coop. The latter two might also have changeomat somewhere (e.g. here), but I have a reason to believe this might be just to get CHF change... There might be also one in Lausanne train station.

I just returned from Turkey. As the locals told me almost all ATMs dispense €. Well i tried in Pamukkale. At least 2 ATMs at the entrance to the town dispense . I got it at AKbank ATM with 2 € fee from my bank.

It was past the security check, somewhere close to my gate, which was B52. There were two machines next to eachother: one with CAD and the other with EUR. I believe they were from the Royal Bank (Banque Royale), but i could be wrong.

I didn't reach the ATM at Montréal Trudeau Airport, because my connecting flight (to Cuba! ) started at Gate 49, which is the "national" area, and there was an extra checkpoint to get to the international gates 50 onwards
Another ATM -free accessible- in the check-in area for US flights gave only US$.

On the backward journey I had a stopover at Toronto Pearson International Airport: I could withdraw with my German Visa credit card. Only , L/U freshly printed, limit 400 EUR.
Balanced in CAD at a rather bad exchange rate... 1EUR = 1,482 CAD

This ATM is located in Terminal 1 near the check-in desks "H", free accessible.

At least two more ATMs with EUR (and GBP) I saw in the security area near the gates E69 and E75.

Gibraltar, Glacis Road, Raphael Bank ATM offers the option to withdraw GBP or Euros.

As I tried it out I found that such ATMs don't work at all (not even with Swedish crowns) when I tried to use them with cards with both debit and credit properties. With an only-debit card the ATM would have given out Swedish crowns but not euros. Probably the system does accept only Swedish cards but it was really a disappointment.

I had the same problem with the EUR ATMs at Heathrow and if I recall correctly, also somewhere else abroad. It was relatively weird as it is a Mastercard.

Unfortunately Swedbank (€20 notes only) is the only one where I really could get euro's, the others didn't accept my card for "foreign currency".

Either this is out dated information, or at least doesn't apply to all Swedish Swedbank and Handelsbanken (or was it Hansabanken, I'm not sure) ATM:s, not at least the ones in terminal 4 and terminal 5 (and between) Stockholm Arlanda Airport. I tried both a Finnis Nordea debit/credit card and a Finnish Nordea Visa Electron -card.

Belfast, First Trust Bank - Donegall Square North

The info could be outdated, it's almost 3 years ago since I wrote this message. Not All Swedbank ATM's contained euros, but the ones that mentioned them didn't cause any problems when using a Dutch card. These were in Haparanda, Jönköping, Ljungby and Strömsnäsbruk. The other "euro-containing" ATMs in Jönköping didn't give euros when I used my Dutch card. Didn't try to get Swedish Crowns just to see if my card would be accepted.

Just to clarify, the ATMs I tried gave out different currencies , but only Swedish Crowns could have been withdrawn with the said cards.

In Lithuania you can take Euros from Swedbank ATMs in bigger towns. What is unusual - they give besides and .

I have withdrawn Euros from Swedbank ATMs in Linköping and Uppsala. There should be an earlier post from me about this.

One of the cash machine owners and operators in Poland, Euronet, with a network of more than 2000 machines across the country, will introduce euro withdrawals ( ) this year, starting with more than 220 ATMs in Warsaw (http://www.euronetpolska.pl/biuro_praso ... tach_.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;).

Tested earlier this week one in Marijampolė, address Laisvės gatvė 4. There was an option "priority small notes" I took 100e with this option and got 10x10e notes. They were unused F/N-notes. ATM was located inside of the bank.

There is ATM which gives euros,pounds or dollars in Bodrum,Turkey.
