ATM commonly dispensed by cash machines
Bars are scaled to face value on a log scale, not to physical size. Colours are the issuer’s own. Converted at mid-market reference rates; what a counter pays is always less.

Getting cash
Thai cash machines usually dispense 1,000 baht notes, and often 100s. Notes step up in width with value, from 138 mm at 20 baht to 162 mm at 1,000, so they can be told apart by touch. Breaking a 1,000 is awkward at street stalls, which is the main reason to ask for smaller notes.
