US dollars, use an ATM best rate, if you use only cash, banks, hotels, and store front money exchanges just watch the fees.

Be sure to let your bank know you will be using your ATM card in Amsterdam.
I have seen cards eaten by the machine for possible fraudulent transaction.
Better safe than sorry.

Yes because that is a cash advance. If you have a debit card you can get decent rates withdrawing from the ATM. But check with your bank for any potentiaal fees. Potts on Damrak or Lorentz on Damstraat offer the best rates for exchanging currency.

Actually this: http://www.lorentzchange.com/AMS/ExchangeRatesAms2.php, is the best place to exchange cash in Amsterdam they give you slightly more Euros than Potts.
