Went to my bank this morning to withdraw $500. The screen prompted me to select the denominations myself or let the machine.
I selected I will and proceeded to request $200 in twenty dollar bills and 3 $100 bills.
What I got back without any notification of “out of $20 bills” was 10 $10 bills and 4 $100 bills.
I guess it was saving some of the $10 bills for future $20 requests, at any rate the machine made all the decisions on what denominations to dispense. I got my money instead of “unable to process your request” which it being Sunday, lucky there was ANY money.

AI text message to your mobile phone soon after: “How was your ATM experience? Did we mention you might be due for a prostate exam?”

Maybe soon the ATM cameras will include the exam too! For an additional fee of course.
Technically Bill, once you deposit it the funds are THEIRS. Count yourself lucky the machine decided to give you anything at all…
And while we’re at it…what did you even need to withdraw $500 for anyway? I hope it was for a
good, state-approved reason… Couldn’t you have made do with less? Think of all our recent “immigrant” brothers that may have to travel across town to another ATM to access their monthly RCA (Refugee Cash Assistance) monies. You’re really putting them out!
Also, I’m not sure it would apply here but…Think of the children! Please won’t you just think of the children?
On a more serious note…In the past few years I’ve sold a few cars and both of the people had to wait weeks to withdraw the cash (only accept cash) and one of them had to wait a full month with payments every two weeks to withdraw 15k that he had in his account. Wasn’t a loan.
Things are getting tough and time has almost caught us…but don’t cry because it’s over, smile because it happened

The ATM has $1,000 limit per day otherwise one has to enter the bank lobby and wait in line for a bank teller which I avoid at all costs.
I use my debit card only at the banks ATM, never for any purchases. I use cash throughout the month whenever possible or write a check. Groceries are a major expense each month and eats the cash quicker than I can eat the groceries🤭.

Coming to a country near you…of course the actual big time billionaire money launders won’t be effected…also renting out a house on a short term there requires the owner to fill out and file paperwork who stayed, how long and photo ID of all occupants, per my cousin who lives in Spain and owns a vacation rental property.

Don’t want to say, The Bank doesn’t have that much cash[or funds?].
The Bank needs notice; times are not very liquid.
Plus, cash is the enemy; it’s analogue.
Our digitals Masters want TOTAL CONTROL.
This is the start of an, agreed-upon-squeeze-play.
Soon, cash will be written out of history.
Cash?
Never heard of it.
Mention it again, and you’ll be fined.
