Dispensers provided by the "note machine" firm, usually at Spar shops, garages, etc, are filled by the shop themselves - I've a few clients who have them and it's where they "bank" most of their larger notes - they have access to the cash drawer to fill them up as needed.
Here's your proof!
From their website - https://www.notemachine.com/atms-for-retail/the-right-atm-for-you/self-fill-atm
"Our Self Fill ATMs are ideal for small but busy shops and retailers. They work just like a fully managed machine with all the same benefits. The only difference is that the ATM is filled by you.
You’ll receive all of the same cash machine equipment, software, service and round-the-clock technical support of our fully managed solution. Plus, there’s the potential for savings on your banking costs by banking your store takings in the ATM."
The original machines were only filled with brand new notes. They couldn't cope with old notes which caused them to jam up. Branches used to fill the machines and learned that very early on. Modern machines are far more tolerant but the notes need to be carefully sorted to avoid jamming.
