The world's oldest automated teller machine, or ATM, was coated in gold to celebrate 50 years since its introduction in London on Tuesday. Red carpet and stanchions were also placed in front of the machine. Before the introduction of the first ATM on June 27, 1967, outside a Barclay's Bank depository in Enfield, north London, people were forced to wait in line at the bank to withdraw cash.
