Happy Birthday ATM



ATMs Celebrate 40th Birthday

Excerpt:

Although cash machines have a long pedigree -- one version was set up in New York in 1939 -- the first recognizably modern one was placed outside the Barclays PLC branch in Enfield, a north London suburb, on June 27, 1967.

Comments: I'm pretty sure that I never even saw an ATM until the mid-70's. When Kathee and I were newlyweds, remote banking was done by pneumatic tubes in drive through banking.
