TL;DR

Credo ATMs can dispense USD when your primary account holds dollars. Euro withdrawals from both TBC and Credo ATMs were reported as difficult, so use an exchange office for euros; older USD and euro notes were reportedly accepted.

What the community said

For cash USD in Batumi, use a Credo ATM: if your primary account is in USD and funded with dollars, it should dispense USD. Credo dollar withdrawals were confirmed, while TBC availability was less certain.

Euro cash withdrawals may be difficult: several TBC ATMs in one area reportedly offered only lari and US dollars, and a checked Credo ATM did not have euros either.

Based on a recent report, city exchange offices accepted older or creased euro notes without issues. The quoted rate was about GEL 300 for EUR 100, though exchange rates vary.

Older US dollar notes are worth taking to Batumi exchange offices as well: travelers specifically asked about them, and older euros were accepted without problems. Show the note to the cashier and confirm the rate before exchanging.
