Several TD ATMs in the GTA area seem to be now dispensing $100 instead of $10. So the standard fare is:

$5
$20
$50
$100

previously it used to be:

$5
$10
$20
$50

I am not sure if it is temporary or permanent.

Anyone else have similar experience?

My father actually told me last week that when he went to a TD ATM, it gave him the option to take 100$ notes which he had never seen before.  He didn't mention anything about the 10$ notes not being an option so I'll have to ask him about that since I assumed they had simply added 100$ notes as an option.  I'm in the Montreal area so this looks like it could be a country wide change.

The new RBC bank machines give you the option to withdraw any note from $5 to $100

The $10 note is the new 50¢ coin.

There are TD machines those with big screens that do allow all the denominations. However these are not very common and I have mostly seen them in downtown locations.

I have not seen the RBC bank machines with possibility of all the denominations yet. Are they common in your area?

Initially I mis-interpreted your thread title,

TD ATM replaced $10 bills with $100 bills
.

I got excited and it reminded of a "bank error in my favour" situation I experienced many years ago at an RBC atm where a $100 note must have gotten mixed into the stack of 20s being dispensed.  :o

Sadly, you're right.

For the TD ATMs to stop dispensing $10 bills in favor of $100 bills, implies that demand for $10 bills is extremely low.  Low enough that, sadly, the $10 bill may reach its demise if enough banks discontinue ordering them.  And it does make sense as to why there have been no new Polymer $10 bills with varnish coating to date.

I think this change is most likely permanent.

I also suspect the replacing of MacDonald's face with Desmond's was likely an opportunity to save the $10 bill from retirement.  Sadly, that attempt failed, for there were fewer than 20 million of the initial supply of Desmond $10 bills printed.  It could be possible that demand is so low now, it's likely on the way out.  Give it three to five years, they'll likely be gone.

It makes a whole lot of sense as to why I have not seen any new $10 bill prefixes in Newfoundland for over five years now.

If we lose the $10 bill, it will be the same way we lost the $500 bill in 1938.  Consumer demand being low enough, it doesn't justify keeping the denomination in circulation any longer.

Oh, come on, just stop that nonsense already... Yes, the $10 bill is the least used denomination and it has been for a while, but it does not mean it is going away. It makes no sense whatsoever to eliminate it and have $5 followed by $20.

And by the way, at least 70 million Viola Desmond tens were printed and released into circulation.

Up until a couple weeks ago it seems that most TD ATMs in Toronto still had 10s. Now they've all switched to 5/20/50/100.

There are still TD machines (the big ones that dispense/accept up to 200 notes) that have 10s. For now at least.

RBC has also started configuring its ATMs with 5-100 denominations. 10s were in them originally, not anymore with the few I've checked!

Most of the RBC ATMS's in Brantford dispense 5-100, i think only a couple of them skip the $10

I inquired with TD about the change from dispensing - 5, 10, 20 and 50 to 5, 20, 50 and 100.

I was told that the demand for $10 denomination relative to the other denominations was signficantly low. Rather then change their machines to increase the denomination dispensed from 4 to 5 they decided to change the combination of the denomination dispensed.

Lately I have not been able to visit any of the larger TD machines but I would imagine that they would still continue to dispense all 5 denominations.

I have not seen ATMs from any other bank branches (other than TD) dispensing more than 3 denominations. It is good to see that there are locations where RBC ATMs are still dispensing all 5 denominations. If anything changes please share.

Thx

Hi docstrange,

Thx

There are still TD machines (the big ones that dispense/accept up to 200 notes) that have 10s. For now at least.

It seems as if, usually, when at least one ATM discontinues dispensing a certain denomination, eventually all ATMs will be involved.  When RBC discontinued dispensing $5 bills starting in 1999, smaller branches were likely the first ones to be affected.  More and more ATMs dropped $5 bills, and ATMs at the big (or main) branches were the last to discontinue $5 bills around 2002 - however ATMs at colleges and universities were still dispensing $5s for at least a few more years, but I heard rumor that they may have been replaced with $10 bills by 2006 supposedly due to inflation - at least the university in my hometown.

I have a feeling that if some TD and RBC branches discontinued dispensing $10s from their ATMs, it's likely possible more will be coming.  If the main/big branches are still dispensing $10 bills, it won't be long before they cease being dispensed.  Usually the big/main branches' ATMs are the last ones to be modified.

The $10 bill phaseout has only started recently, and I bet such phaseout from TD and RBC ATMs will be much quicker than when RBC ATMs phased out $5 bills (the latter phaseout took about three years).

The newer Scotiabank ATMs that dispense multiple denominations were already ahead of the game - they never dispensed $10 bills from the get-go.  The newer ATMs, that is.  Scotiabank knew well ahead that demand for $10 bills was quite low - so it's quite surprising that RBC and TD were late to the party.

I also wouldn't be shocked if those banks that stopped dispensing $10s from their ATMs, the branches probably discontinued ordering $10 bills for over-the-counter transactions.  If any such branches discontinued ordering $10 bills for over-the-counter transactions, please share.

I also agree that the phaseout of $10s from the newer TD and RBC ATMs is likely a nationwide change.

I thought they gave out all the notes but I could be wrong and at my age you forget stuff at times
