I agree with Henning, BTC atms shouldn't IMHO be tagged in a way that can be misleading for who searches an atm to get cash from. Neither would I recommend tagging any other banking machine as "atm" if it doesn't allow getting cash out. Better use a different word, e.g. amenity=banking_machine or sth. similar. I have looked it up in the wiki and apparently this modification introduced the idea that an "atm" and an "abm" should get the same tags in OSM (don't recall any discussion to change the actual definition and would guess that this edit was mostly intended to make the definition more readable): http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/w/index.php?title=Tag%3Aamenity%3Datm&diff=478024&oldid=418673 I propose to rename the wording in order to get back the specificity that is now lost (current short definition is: "A device that provides the clients of a financial institution with access to financial transactions." and covers a lot more than only atms, the current one fits even for smartphones). Some time ago this short definition was: "For showing the location of ATM (cash machine, cash point)." which is much better (IMHO). There is also explicit mention of "cash" in the wiki for atms. cheers, Martin
