Unveiling ATM Secrets: How Much Cash Is Really Inside? 99% Don't Know!
- •Most ATM users are unaware of the actual cash stored inside these crucial banking machines.
- •ATMs utilize 'cash cassettes' and can technically hold 8,000 to 10,000 notes at a time.
- •If filled solely with ₹500 notes, an ATM could potentially contain up to ₹40 lakhs.
- •In reality, ATMs are loaded with mixed denominations (₹100, ₹200, ₹500) to meet public demand for smaller change, reducing the total cash value.
- •Cash loading varies by location and security protocols; most ATMs typically hold ₹20 lakhs to ₹30 lakhs due to security risks.
