A long, long, time ago when ATMs had just been introduced to the UK I was stood behind someone in the queue. They were cursing and obviously having trouble with the machine and so I offered to help. The display said something like
Please enter the amount you want to withdraw
n.b. the amount must be in multiples of £5
and so the guy was pressing the 5 key 5 times because he wanted to withdraw £25. And the machine was saying he didn't have enough in his account....
