Well, this is one fun response. The story goes, when the maker of ATM machineries, John Shepherd-Barron, calculated the first mechanism, he had kept the pin to be a lengthier six digits – so as to make the mixtures greater and more complex. However, his wife Caroline Murray River was of the estimation that 6 digits are two too many and people would keep overlooking their pins. She herself found it difficult to recollect and hence, he abridged the number down to 4 digits which was outwardly easier to remember! And they say women cannot rule the world, phase!

Did you know that there’s really an ATM that distributes actual gold bars, coins and jewellery? No, we aren’t joking.

The ATM stands proud in the Emirates Palace guesthouse in Abu Dhabi and gives over 320 gold items to pick from! Imagine the long queue behind you if you agree to sift through each and every choice!

This is one ‘it occurs only in India’ tale! India has the first ever fluctuating ATM or an ATM on a ferry! In Kerala, a fluctuating ATM has been set up by SBI to reach out to inhabitants and tourists in private island cut off from the main shore. This fluctuating ATM will reach out to hotels, resolts, temples and other places of adorations, beaches, etc and even service persons who use the jetty daily! What an idea sirjee!
