"Distributeur Automatique Des Billets"

Also known as an ATM. Curious what the first one in a nation of sixty million people looks like? A photo of it is here. More details here.

Interesting articles somewhere (NYT?) recently about how in South Africa more and more ATMs are being installed in poorer areas, to give people access to banking, but they are frequently the target of robbers, who try (usually without success) to get the money by blowing up the ATM with explosives (relatively common due to mining).
