[+] for the idea. I'm kinda glad they don't dispense coins. |
|

Will banks blow their money on this? |
|
| |
After the latest news on interest rate rises my bank can blow me, as far as I am concerned. |
|
| |
That would probably be an 'over the counter' transaction UB. Chargeable I'm afraid, even if you leave a deposit. Make sure you remove your helmet. |
|
| |
Yeah, you're right. There's probably a fee for early withdrawal, too. The bastards want to suck every last drop out of you, I've noticed. |
|
| |
I was thinking it would fit in to the same genre as those restaurants where the waiters abuse you. I think you can get regular service by request. |
|
| |
Perhaps the ATM could have regular withdrawal, or 'tornado' withdrawal. |
|
| |
There's a small chance it might slow down the process of getting your money out on busy days. |
|
| |
you'd then have a Crystal Maze inspired ATM vestibule, ... you could probably call yours the blob dome. |
|
| |
can be implemented in countries where the price of things can go into millions like the japanese yen, or the malaysian ringgit |
|
| |
currently:
1 Japanese yen = 0.009143 U.S. dollar |
|
| |
if the japanese government started circulating singles, withdrawing as little as US$10.00 in japan would be fun to look at. |
|
| |
How about Zimbabwe, where they have just released a ZWD$1,000,000 note? |
|
| |
USD $100.00 = ZWD $3,070,600.00 as at today.
USD $100.00 = JPY 10,928.3 as at today |

'Under the counter', shirley? |

Actually for the mere amusement of
seeing someone inside a plexi or acrylic
box on a busy street scrambling and
grabbing to recover their own money, I
think it's bunable. |
|
| |
I would have bunned until my finger
was sore if the suggestion had been a
bank initiated public, spontaneous and
random cash explosion inside a very
visible plexi bubble. Any two (or more)
people could get inside and press the
button or pull the lever and every once
in a while, a 100 or so bills would come
a blowing. The fighting and related
shenanigans inside the bubble would be
of interest to many and the bank would
be the talk of the town. Kind of like a
bank sponsored pair of scorpions in a
brandy glass concept. |

Sorry. I'd have to say no on the context, that money would have to be paid by someone. The people wouldn't want to fight for their own money, especially if in a rush. The banks wouldn't want the financial liability. The IRS would be angry they couldn't tax it. And theives would constantly devise new and more belligerent ways of robbing people. |

I'd get a big mesh bag, or butter fly net and put it over the blower hole. |
