Honest Guide noticed this with ATMs in Prague. Another note was that the withdrawal amounts were much more reasonable with a local card versus a non-local card. For instance, it would offer $100, $200, and $300 withdrawal amounts (you could change manually) with a non-local card but $40, $60, and $80 amounts with a local card.
