Question

How come the atm machine wont allow u to take out ten dollars

Answer 1

I dunno but the ones at my college do, probably for the broke collegians who may not have 20 bucks in their account

Answer 2

Usually, they do.

But if it's out of tens, you have to take out an amount in $20 increments.  Sometimes the ATM's run out of one particular bill.  I've run across that problem more than once.

Answer 3

Most major banks, such as Harris and Key, started keeping solely twenty dollar bills in ATMs in a effort to cut costs.

Some credit union ATMs and others do hold ten dollar bills, but I would guess that if you cannot withdraw $10, the ATM you are trying to use is stocked with only $20 bills.
