For celebrating the ATM exhibition on Zhanghua post office, the local post used green ribbon on the Rocupex'06 ATM on 18th Nov. 2006. The machine number is 069. The live field printing period is from 8:00 t0 12:00 am only. The customer could buy 10 pieces everytime, after that he had to fell in line again if he want to buy more. And the machine would be operated by administrator only, customers give the coins to administrator.

MACAU - Re-print the ATM

Since 1th Dec. 2006, Macau Post will issue new ATM on Nagler and Klussendorf. Initial It would be installed on GPO only. The legend of new ATM is called 'Energy Saving', same to current issue(issued on 5th June 2002). The only difference is the text on bottom right. The new issue will imprtint 'REIMP 2006'.
Whatever, it is the same story to 'Lotus Bridge' ATM.

SUISSE - Position mark error on flag ATM

While Helvetia issue new ATM(flag) on 6th Sep. 2005, there makes some error on paper pattern. It is position mark(silver) should be imprinted on the left side only, but some of them were imprinted on right side too, see red arrow on above image.
The initial imprint quality is not fine, some of them were shorter mark. Maybe after runs several months, all the position marks will be ok.

Logo history of France

The postal logo on France ATM changed several times since its first appearance on 'Dove' ATM on 25th Feb. 1985. The logo is simple dove marks, no any sepcial words. When it released 'comet' ATM on 7th July 1988, the logo was changed to complete type 'LA POSTE +dove'. This logo type runed many years till issue 'Salon Philatélique Nancy 2001' on 23th March 2001. It add a rectange pane to surround the 'old' logo.
From this year(2006), the first issue 'DIJON 2006', the logo became more art, there is one circle shap surround the 'dove mark'. And the next 5th issue of this year, 'NEVERS 2006', there is yellow background inside the circle, more vivid I think.
But for the definitive ATM 'paper airplanes' issued on 3th July 2000, only print letters 'LA POSTE' on the paper, today is still circulated.
For this article, I checked my ablums detailed. Then I found one interesting variable on 'comet' ATM paper, see below. There is blue big DOT(white edge) located on the right of logo, and even cover part of it. I got this from eBay several (months or years) ago, and don't know/remember the description of vendor. Let me know the story if you know please.

This ATM was from C001.75500
