Emerging markets have been rolling out new notes in stages to improve security, extend note life, and reduce counterfeit risk. During changeover, old notes flood back while new notes go out, so peak capacity at cash centers often rises well above normal.
Many sites add a second shift and install automation that can switch strap types quickly. Running 1,000-note three-way strapping and 100-note banding in the same hall helps absorb the peak.
After changeover, that extra capacity usually stays in place and becomes the new baseline for daily cash handling.
