Why don’t we has these

News: Welcome to the Canadian Paper Money Forum.

Why don’t we have these?

TD Bank has this option (at least around ottawa area)

The TD Bank machines in Victoria do as well. I believe it is a standard or soon to be standard feature at all TD ATMs.

All TD machines have been like this for a while now.  I think they were the first to do a full conversion nationwide.  $100's, however, are not an option.

Scotiabank also has machines like these, but usually limited to one max per branch.  It dispenses all denominations except $10s.  This is likely the case nationwide.  I wonder if this is due to the $10 bill's low demand, or due to the vast majority of Scotiabank branches across Canada having already discontinued ordering $10 bills?

I heard from a co-worker that TD has these types of machines, and while all five denominations are an option, if you specify any number of $10s, you'll end up getting two $5 bills for each instance of $10 you request - at least this is the case in Newfoundland, where I live.

BMO has these types of machines, but are restricted to the three core denominations ($5, $20 and $50).  Again, this is nationwide.

As for the "$100s not being an option" comment, why is this?  Is this because of criminal activity which the existence of $100 bills likely leads to?

Also, I took out $120 last Monday, and the buttons for $50s and $100s did not display.  The default option was 5 $20s and 4 $5s.  I mean, seriously, shouldn't I have the option of 1 $100 or 2 $50s, and 1 $20? Or are larger denominations only an option if the withdrawal amount is $200 or greater?

Why don’t we have these?

Pffft. No $2 notes.

TD Bank has this option (at least around ottawa area)

TD Banks have two types of machines:


The most common gives a choice of 5, 10, 20 and 50. It allows depositing 50 notes at a time without envelope

Another one with larger screen gives a choice of all denominations. I believe you can deposit 100 notes without envelope. This is less common and mostly in atms that seem to be more secure.

Also, I took out $120 last Monday, and the buttons for $50s and $100s did not display.  The default option was 5 $20s and 4 $5s.  I mean, seriously, shouldn't I have the option of 1 $100 or 2 $50s, and 1 $20? Or are larger denominations only an option if the withdrawal amount is $200 or greater?

I think that when this happens it is because the machine runs out of notes of a certain denomination.  It won't display on the screen until they are refilled.
