Do ATMs accept $2 bills for deposits?

  • Ever tried to deposit a 2 dollar bill into an ATM? Ever wondered if $2 bills would be accepted? The director of The Two Dollar Bill Documentary gave it a shot in this video, and found that a money transfer isn't always what it seems. At banks like Chase and Bank of America, varied numbers of twos went in - did anything come back out? It's not as easy as online banking, but in this case, it was more fun. You may even learn how to deposit money in atm.

      Glad you found it too. I haven't done a new video in a bit but I'll be soon be ramping back up. In the meantime, enjoy what's here - there's lots of good videos on a variety of $2 bill topics.

    I repair ATMs for a living. Here's the real answer to the question, it 100% depends on the bank and what they have configured their validator to handle. It doesn't matter if it's an NCR, Diebold, Hyosung or whatever. When you do a deposit, all the bills go through a validator and that has to be programmed for each type of bill to be able to validate it. If they aren't programmed in to the machine, it will refuse them and return them to the customer (in the US, over seas, they capture what doesn't pass the validator.)
    All that being said, I do not know of any banks that refuse to accept them personally, but it IS an option

      Thank you for the comment! It's kinda like vending machines then, where it's just a matter of being programmed. I was going to ask you which banks refuse them, but you answered it already. I'm curious why you think the ATM did not take 2 of the bills at the first drive-thru I went to. I can understand the later one, where the bills were in poor condition, but the first two were really pure. Any ideas?

      @@TheTwoDollarBillDocumentary It's the same reason that they will sometimes reject $20s and such, it just didn't get a good read on it, if you put it in again, it most likely would take it. The way the validators look at the bill, if a crease is in the wrong spot, it can cause it to be unable to validate on some passes.. you have to realize that these bills are moving through the device very quickly and the validator only has so long to be able to verify it, so if it misses, it rejects the bill, and you try again. It also makes a difference on who is maintaining the machine, the validator has a glass in it and considering how filthy money is, it builds up in the system. My company has a policy to run a cleaning kit through the entire cash acceptor at least every 180 days, but more often is better, depending on the use of the machine of course.
      Short answer is this, had you tried again, those bills would probably have been accepted

    • @TheTwoDollarBillDocumentary
      @TheTwoDollarBillDocumentary  4 роки тому +2

      I've gone through it frame by frame and I think there's a chance I may have accidentally deposited $8, when I thought I was depositing $10. It's a logical explanation for what happened, although I can't be sure. Even if I did lose $2, it certainly made for a more entertaining ATM visit. Thus, I wasn't too disappointed in losing $2 in the grand scheme of things.

    • @TheTwoDollarBillDocumentary
      @TheTwoDollarBillDocumentary  4 роки тому +1

      You go to the bank and ask for them. Straps come in $100 and $200 packs, but your best bet for getting them is to order $200 worth. Sometimes the bank will have them. If not, they can order them, and the result is a crisp stack of sequential serial-number bills. If the bank says no, they're just being lazy or difficult. Tell them you're using the bills for a charity event or something, and they may be more likely to make the effort to order them.
