Are you aware of the fact that Georgia has its own currency?

Avoid paying with EUR/USD in places that accept them. It's occasionally possible to pay in these currencies, but the exchange rates amount to robbery.

According to Lonely Planet:
- Georgia’s currency is the lari (GEL). It has been fairly stable since it was introduced in 1995. One lari is divided into 100
tetri.
- Banknotes come in denominations of one, two, five, 10, 20, 50, 100 and 200 lari; coins run from one tetri to two lari.
- ATMs, generally accepting MasterCard, Visa, Cirrus and Maestro cards, are plentiful in cities and towns.
- There are also plenty of banks and small money-exchange offices in most towns and cities, where you can exchange US dollars, euros and
sometimes sterling and the currencies of Georgia's neighbouring
countries.
- You can make purchases with credit cards at some hotels, restaurants and shops, though less frequently outside Tbilisi.
- Common tipping practice in restaurants is just to round up the bill to the next round number.
As for exchanging money at the airport, there are 5 different banks and 6 ATMs that you could exchange money or withdraw money from. Each bank has it's own policy on the maximum amount of currency to exchange.
