The problem with this is that incomplete (or even complete) data can become incorrect over time. OTOH, we already map other things that are relatively ephemeral. Opening hours can change. Hygiene certificate ratings can go up or down. Businesses go bankrupt. Etc. There's a place near me that was a shop, then a fast food outlet called "Porky Pies", then an Indian restaurant, within the last month it became a fast food outlet called Deegee's. That's all over the span of about 5 years. It's inconsiderate of them to force me to keep updating the map. ATM denominations would be great if there is an effort to keep it up to date. Maybe suggest that mappers only tag it (with whatever tag we decide upon, if we decide to do it, and if ever we can decide on a tagging scheme) if they use that particular ATM at least monthly. Everyone will ignore the suggestion, of course, and use the tag on ATMs they've used only once and will never use again. Maybe I'm just worrying because I can remember the days when ATMs dispensed £1/£5, then went to £5/£10 and are now (mostly) £10/£20. Inflation is still present and bank branches keep closing, so there's more demand for ATMs. Which means they'll empty faster, which means we may see £20/£50 soon. In the end, though, if enough people want do to it they'll do it, so all we can do here is try to come up with a sensible way of tagging it then document it. We already have currency:XXX=yes/no (a proposal but the iD editor has supported it for a while). So maybe something like currency:denomination:GBP=10;20. Then if there's a locality with two common currencies where an ATM might dispense one, or the other, or both, we can use currency:denomination:GBP=10;20 + currency:denomination:EUR=5;10 (a situation we're unlikely to see in the UK, but it's just an example). There's probably a better way of doing it, and people will be along shortly to argue about it. :) -- Paul
