I guess the more types they have, the more machinery there is to go wrong?

My local Tesco's, ASDA and Sainsburys' all have those change to note machines in them....

Pop in your change & out pops notes, albeit not the fifty pound type

In Portugal, getting a €50 note from a machine is hen's teeth, even in the rich areas like Lisbon. Yet in Spain, it's perfectly normal, even in villages. Odd.

I Don't know if it still does, but the HSBC round the corner from me used to spit out £5 notes.

No, £50 notes are not loaded in ATM's. The bank machines hold 250k - 500k in £10's and £20's as it is, could you imagine the insurance bill if anyone wanted to put £50's in 1. I don't think it would last very long, cos you'd be looking at £500k just in 1 type of note!!

Also no operators I know stopped using £5 notes years ago cos of the cost of replenishment everytime it ran out.

The cashpoints inside Leeds University dispense £5 notes. Bloody cheapskate students.

Our European brethren aren't keen on anything above a €50 note. €500 notes get them really worked up Mind you, it IS a £350 note!!

I once opened an account over there, with €18000 in €500 notes, then, later, paid in another €55000 in €500 notes. You should have seen the fuss.
