I do the same thing taking 60-70% of the cash I need based on my MM budgeting spreadsheet. Start hitting the ATM before I run out. There have been a few times where most ATM's in the gulch were out of money or didn't work. It happens a lot during holidays or Halloween week. Never want to be low on cash when opportunity strikes!

And the ATMs near the HDR (Av. 1 towards the Morazan) are often zero fill on dollars until the banks open. But I normally withdraw colones from ATMs (I try to use colones exclusively). |
