Household mix

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The so-called household mix (more rarely: housewives mix ) describes in banking terms a mix ratio of banknotes of different values ​​when they are issued by the ATM or automatic teller safe . The name is derived from the fact that this mixing ratio is intended to simplify the handling of commercial transactions in everyday life.

The mix is ​​typically achieved by issuing one of each bill, starting with the smallest available bill, in ascending order of bill value, until no higher bill is available or this would exceed the requested payout amount. The rest will be paid out as much as possible.

For an amount of € 100 and a machine with banknote values ​​of € 5, € 10, € 20 and € 50, the denominations are made up as follows:

  • once € 5, the rest € 95
  • once € 10, the rest € 85
  • once € 20, the rest € 65
  • once € 50, the rest € 15
  • once € 10, the rest € 5
  • € 5 once, payout amount reached
  • Result: once 50 €, once 20 €, twice 10 €, twice 5 €.
