Wow. Had no idea autotellers went back that far.
I can’t remember them until much later.. maybe just a few here and there in the big cities back then?
Probably. My hometown was small back then. All we had were night deposits.
It seems like one of those things that all the sudden they were there and you never gave much thought to it….. like phone booths -you look around one day and they were all gone..
That’s a good point.
I don’t remember ATMs until the 80s…at least not here. They must have not been popular all over until later.
The ATM in that picture looks almost identical to the ones in use today. I wonder if they are the same ones!
the caption said it was the one from 1969- it does look similar doesnt’ it.
