The good news is that most ATMs allow you to select any amount ending in 0. (Up to whatever their maximum is, of course.)

For example, if you want LE1000, enter LE990. That will at least generate a 100, a 50, and a couple 20s. I never got a 10 from an ATM no matter how hard I tried: doing something like 1010 would get us a 100, a 50, and three 20s. But still...better'n nothing.
