This has long been the case in Zambia. The ATMs have a limit on what they can dispense to a person per day. In their case, I suspect it is an effort to prevent bank runs but, for people who have legitimate funds, it is simply a damned nuisance. ATMs commonly run out of the supply of currency early in the day, as everyone is queueing up for access. Zambia is in crying need of money, but the government creates access barriers for those who have it. The government's response to any complaint is basically, "Shut the fuck up."

I would take it out and invest in silver. It's not safe.
Invest? This is money that people live by and pay the bills. Anyone in Zambia with enough money to "invest" is already above these difficulties.
Oh. I got you.
