    Something about this story smells… I’ve never been asked by an ATM how I want my money, it’s always just $20s.

      BofA ATM where I live will do this now. They give you options of 10s, 20s, 100s, or “pick for me”

      I use US bank, and their ATMs do give the option to choose whether you receive 20s or 100s.

      edit: apparently headline was misleading and it wasn’t a US bank ATM, rather a US based bank’s ATM, but still, point remains, some ATMs do let you choose the bill.

    Title is a bit misleading.

    It’s not from US Bank(the specific company).

    It’s from a US based bank, Providence.

    Ngl every time I use an ATM I think

    “What if it gives me fake money?”

    “If I go into the bank and complain no one will believe me.”

    “Or worse what if they think I am trying to scam them!?”

      Your story would be verifiable. Unless somehow only one fake bill slipped into a ream. But generally if it put out one fake bill, it’ll have alot more inside. It’s not like they are loaded one bill at a time. And generally they get fresh printed currency when possible, to reduce the chance for jams.

        I don’t think that’s true the bills are rebound they don’t use stacks of new money each time they refill it, however whatever checks they use to ensure it’s real money is enough to catch 99% of all counterfeits and if not it’s going to be good enough that you and whoever you give it to won’t notice.

        Don’t they scan (photographically) all the money thay comes in and out for this exact reason.
