I once went to a drive-up ATM and withdrew $100. It deducted $100 from my account, but the machine gave me $300 instead. I walked into the branch and returned the money. They were thankful, but I never followed up with what happened. It was one of those small town credit unions. I guess weird things must happen frequently.

I used to belong to a small town credit union that caused a bit of an uproar as sometimes when you withdrew money it would give you a random $50 bill instead of the typical $20s.

Turns out it was a promotion where they were trying to say, "small town bank gives you more" but they forgot to put the banners up before doling out the cash.
