Do avoid dodgy out of the way ATMs. Bank ATMs or bank branded machines should be OK, but may empty by Sunday afternoon.

Beware of the dynamic currency exchange scam where shops offer to accept your credit card and bill in dollars.

You may get good exchange rates from shopkeepers, but others will accept dollars at conversion rates that are out of kilter with the day's bank rates.
