German term or phrase: gerade Barbeträge
"Geldscheintasten
Für die schnelle Eingabe von geraden Barbeträgen"
Easy to understand, coming from a description of a cash till, but how do we express it in good English? I think they mean that there are separate keys for, say, 10 EUR notzes, 20 EUR NOTES etc. as a time-saving feature. I don't much like the ideas I have had so far...
TIA

Or "common amounts", as here:

With this option enabled, the amount tendered screen will show quick tender buttons for common amounts (ex: $ 5, $ 10, $ 20) on the amount tendered screen. A one button touch can be used to select these amounts. This feautre is best used with a touch screen.

Asker: this was my original idea but "even amounts" is too vague I feel
