Again I am surprised by the fact ATMs can give US$$ and €€ in Russia. :-)

Same in Israel (some spots). In Finland they can't?

Well, in Finland you may get €€ from an ATM. :-P

Noh gringo dollarss?

[kinuski.livejournal.com]

Nope. No dollars, no roubles.

Why would one need to get $$ and €€? To change them to roubles afterwards?

[wildernesscat.livejournal.com]

I think it's mainly for locals who're going abroad.

Ditto! (Shame on me, I didn't think about it)

That's why it surprises me. However, it might be good for savings. If one recieves salary in roubles to a bank account, but prefers hard currency savings in cash such ATM reduces exchange losses.
