ATM commonly dispensed by cash machines
Bars are scaled to face value on a log scale, not to physical size. Shading indicates value: we have not verified this issuer’s colours. Converted at mid-market reference rates; what a counter pays is always less.
Getting cash
Polish cash machines usually dispense 100 and 50 zloty notes. Machines will often offer to convert the withdrawal to your home currency; decline it and let your own bank convert, because the machine's rate is the worse of the two.
