I think they even dispensed $5s at the time, but my memory is a bit hazy about that. At the time, my girlfriend (now wife) used to tell me I wasted so much $$ on ATM fees by only withdrawing $10 at a shot. I told her I was not good at budgeting my money and I had a tendency to spend whatever was in my pocket, irrespective of the amount. So, $10 was my way of putting brakes on my spending. Fees were just part of the cost of my budgeting method. She married me anyway.
