A flawed ATM machine malfunctioned and began spewing out notes as customers withdrew cash in Mansfield Woodhouse, Notts.
Around 60 people reportedly queued up at The Lloyds Bank ATM, as the word began to spread that it was giving out money for free.
The fault was spotted by bosses and the cash machine was put of service in the late afternoon.
A Lloyds Bank spokesman said that investigations had begun into how the error occurred, but was unable to provide details on how much cash was withdrawn from the ATM.
