ATM doubles cash, causes controversy in Egypt
A unusual incident occurred in the village of "Qai" in Beni Suef Governorate when the ATM malfunctioned, causing it to dispense double the amount to customers. The incident began when a citizen withdrew 2,000 Egyptian pounds after requesting to withdraw 1,000 pounds, prompting residents to approach the machine to take advantage of the error. This led to repeated withdrawals of amounts exceeding the requested sum until an official intervened and stopped the machine for inspection. The likely cause was human error during the machine's cash replenishment, where a 200-pound note was mistakenly placed in the slot designated for smaller denominations, resulting in the doubled dispensed amounts. Authorities are conducting investigations to determine the cause of the malfunction, review the withdrawal transactions, and recover the excess funds from the account holders or deduct them if they do not voluntarily return the money.
