THE FUTURE<br />
With digital payment systems like Apple Pay,<br />
Samsung Pay and Google Wallet; digital currencies<br />
like Bitcoin and Ethereum; and not to mention the<br />
ability to pay using debit and credit cards, many<br />
believe ATMs are getting redundant. The problem<br />
with that theory is that there is more cash sloshing<br />
about than ever before. Euro notes and coins in<br />
circulation have doubled in number since the<br />
introduction of the common currency. Twice as<br />
many dollar bills are in circulation now than two<br />
decades ago. Americans took more money out of<br />
ATMs in 2012 than they did in 2003. Digital money is<br />
well and good, but there’s still a long way to go<br />
before we stop using ATMs.<br />
