Your ATM does not use transactions

Most modern ATMs are actually PCs running Windows. Not sure if that qualifies as "slow and clunky".

I was thinking about the actual mechanism that counts and ejects the notes - which is pretty slow by computing standards!

I heard an urban myth the other day that the cash-counting noises are fake and are computer generated to cover the time it takes the ATM to communicate with the mainframe.

I spoke to our ATM dev and test team here, and they told me this is not true.
