£5 notes in cash machines?

barbiedoll

A poster in a thread in the "Budgeting and bank accounts" board said that certain cashpoints are now dispensing £5 notes once again. I keep reading this story every few years in the newspapers but I have never actually seen a fiver dispensed from a cash machine since around 1990.

Has anyone ever got a £5 note from a cash machine in London? Can you ask for £5 or is the minimum withdrawal still £10? (It's bad enough when you can't get less than twenty quid because the machine has "run out" of tenners :mad:)

I took about £200 out a few years back from Barclays and it gave me the lot in fivers, felt rich with such a bulging wallet.

There`s a fivers only one in St Albans, £50 max withdrawal, no fee, all five pound notes!

It used to be a normal one with a £1.85 fee. Its very near a free one so obviously only lightly used. It has some kind of campaign for five pound notes labels on it.
