Another issue is that in some countries the ATM systems only support a
4-digit PIN but in the US some support a longer PIN. I changed my longer
PIN before I went to England and I was able to withdraw money using my
ATM card that way.

I worked so hard on this book, and it probably only takes 20 minutes to
read it. 15 hours' work on each page (at least), 60 minuges in an hour,
32 pages, 480 hours...I need 1,480 readers to hit the break-even point.
