Are you saying that they don't take bills? Yes, larger bills are not accepted at various machines, but I don't understand the comment about coins. Since Euro come in 1 and 2 Euro coin one pretty much always has change. And BNP Paribas machines ask if one wants small bills, 50 Euro bills, or a mix of bills when it dispenses cash.
While SNCF ticket machines that take paper money may be at CDG, the only ones I have seen take coins only. As you point out with BNP, ATMs only issue paper money. Thus getting Euros at an ATM won't give you usable currency for the approxiamely €9.50 each fare for the RER-you'll need coins. Can you get coin change at CDG easily? Good question.
