ATM machine in Iran

A friend of a friend just got back from Iran and while he was there he took these pictures of an ATM machine outside a bank. A friend of mine sent me these pictures of an ATM machine outside a bank in Iran. I guess thats were Xerxes does his banking.

    from the looks of it the building from inside has a high floor so it is covenient to fill it up from inside but difficult to take out from outside.Good exeuse not to treat friends

    Oh my gosh! Unbelievable!
    I do not see myself using it! because i am so petite! (1m55!)i had a good laugh though!

    Are you all serious? That’s an edited photo, it’s a joke that’s been spread, that ain’t noone’s photography, you guys can actually believe such stuff?

  15. Mark says:

    Doesn’t look edited neither would it make sense for someone to actually go through the trouble of doing so.

  16. dotone says:

    lol, cuz this is a joke that was made upon some rules that rolled out last year in Iran regarding banking and the accessibility of personal funds. I still can’t believe you guys are really thinkin’ this is true.

  17. Mark says:

    here is the hires version, could you point out the signs that the image was retouched..

    Simply look at his arm shadow. From the reflection on the wall you could see that it is near sunset time, so the sun is actually going down so the shadow angle ain’t right. If that’s not enough and you wanna’ take the camera’s flash instead, well then see how his arm shadow doesn’t continue to his wrest! not even a little bit, not even a reflection of his wrest on the steel bottom of the ATM machine.

    Just my 2 bits. I can be wrong.

  19. Mark says:

    from what i read online the best story i heard was that there was supposed to be steps that take you up to the machine but someone had removed it..

  20. dotone says:

    Oh my, you seriously believe such stuff?
    Which bank would spend on an ATM machine, its software, and the bandwidth and then make their ATM not easily accessible?

    You seriously buy that?

  21. Mark says:

    i buy that over your retouching theory which is unfounded. There is no sign at all of any retouching.

    But, if you look at the picture of the bank you will notice its not on ground level its higher up so it would make sense if there were steps in front of the machine and that either they were removed because of some sort of repairs or something or that a prankster removed them.

  22. TiM says:

    this retouching stuff is BULLSHIT… I have retouched so many images and I work in graphics editing and retouching… this is not retouched..
    simply put.. this machine is probably just newely installed and they will put a set of stairs for it or something after, so you can access it. It is in ground level with the bank, and it is not supposed to be used now, it’s the silly guy trying to act as if he’s using it is what is making it funny… all banks everywhere will have their ATM machiens in ground level with their interior leveling… so many banks in Kuwait have a few steps up to the ATM machine that go with the entrance of the bank machine

  23. dotone says:

    Alright, easy easy…. didn’t expect such reaction… okay let it be untouched, and yea stairs or whatever.

  24. nxman says:

    Been to Iran and saw this usually there is a ladder under the ATM machine but it will removed during closing hours So that people won’t destroy it the machine of course!
