No they don't. The days when a fiver was a significant amount are long
gone. No-one cares that they're taking 50 quid from the machine instead
of 55, or 100 instead of 95.

Well, no-one that the banks care about anyway.

Might I recommend that you spend your time going after far more
eggregious offenders of your grammatical sensibilities? Perhaps you
could start with all those who chant "Pater noster / qui es in caelis /
sanctificetur nomen tuum".

What they will tell you that grammatical possession has nothing to do
with ownership.

(actually, they'll ignore you, like I should have done)

No, but there are times when i'd like to get 10 or 20 pounds out in fivers
rather than tenners.

Am I missing something here when taking cash out of an ATM I have
never had a choice of what denomination of notes I wanted the ATM just
gives me what it wants to give me be it tenners or twenties .

If ever I specifically need a tenner, then I just ask for £30 or £50
instead of £40, which is "sort of" a way of requesting a denomination.

All the ATM's I use around these parts always dish out two or one tenner
no matter what ask for 20 you get 2 tens 30 1 20 and a ten even 100 and
you get eighty in twenties and the last twenty in tens .

Same in my experience. I suppose i was thinking if i went to a machine and
got ten quid out, i'd get it as two fivers, which would be useful.

An option to have some influence over denomination would be useful,
though, and shouldn't be too hard to implement. There might be good
reasons not to do it, though; probably everyone would want tenners, and
the machine'd run out.
