...at least one a week! Can't they test these things before they bolt them onto fruits?

'Coin on a string' and 'note mech tamper' do you no favours at all.

I'm talking genuine errors from legit play.
I need to employ an admin girl just to deal with my IOU's!
Am I the only one?

The two i've mentioned are from legit play, but they both sound dodgy as fook, i can't remember the last time i left my name and number and THEY actually rang me to say the money was there, its normally me who does all the running, been chasing a £41 since last week, its took 3 phone calls on 3 different days for them to finally say its there.

Hmmmm...£41 eh?
Mine are for £81 (although I'm only getting £61 back!) and £61
Is it that odd nugget that causes the problems?...Probably not
I love the idea of note payout but until these errors are sorted I'd rather stick with good old fashioned coins.
What I DO love about notey's is when you come home, count up and think "£x amount up, not too bad"....THEN....you find the little stash of curly tenners you'd forgotten about!

Have a pretty good record at getting IOUs. Ivor Thomas I have to give a fake name though, they deliberately dont float stuff and when it's IOU tell the pubs to bar the claimant. Great way to do business eh?!
Mostly the pubs will phone me but sometimes I'll have to chase. My enthusiasm for chasing depends on how much and the heat of the pub :-)

Never leave a N17 Note error IOU....... You can get them out and even Some bar staff know.
Had N17 error 4 times and always got the money out of it before leaving

What annoys me about bfm's note payout errors is thus.
You have £90 in bank. The first £10 is paid out in coins. Leaving you £80. Then it pays out a note which in RUDE's case gets jammed. But as soon as you've pressed collect for the note the bank is reduced by £10 regardless of whether a jam/note error. You call somebody over, they switch machine on and off. When it comes back on u now have £70 in bank and It immediately tries to despatch another note which alarms again and now ur bank is down to £60.
This is what the engineer will see. They don't seem to realise the bank decreasing is the result of the jammed notes which are yours.
I'm gonna ring companies in question who supply these and make them aware of this problem. Perhaps an email to bfm wouldn't go a miss, not that they'd probably give a fuck tho.
Buddy, how can u get notes out. Without looking like a tooled?

you dont get notes out and yes your bank will decrease by £10 but you plug once and it will retry and then plug again and your bank will now be where it was (once though i got a £10 note come out and my bank was still what it was at so I got an extra 10er?????? got a video of it aswell as recorded it for evedence of the IOU)
plug and wait 30 secs and it will now disengauge the notey and revert to "All Coins" notey will be flashing red all the time even if full and will only take/pay coins
