ATM Gold (7/5/00)
FULL STORY:
If you use an ATM in Arkansas you might strike gold instead of dollar bills.
Arkansas Federal Credit Union wanted to raise its maximum ATM transaction
amount from $300 to $500 but was concerned about the increased frequency of
reloading its machine. The solution was found in dispensing the new Sacagawea
golden one dollar coin which freed up a note dispenser for $50 bills.The
credit
union is the first financial institution in the country to dispense the newly
minted, golden one dollar coin at an ATM. AFCU has a network of 14 Diebold
advanced-function ATMs in their branch offices providing a variety of
services,
including the ability to cash checks to the penny. The credit union serves the
Little Rock Air Force Base, Fort Chaffee, Camp Pike and Camp Robinson; the
National Guard and Reserves; federal, state, county and municipal government
agencies and select employer groups throughout
Arkansas.
