ATM machine
Cash source, repetitively
ATM machine is a redundant phrase, since ATM already stands for automated teller machine.
Despite this, the expression is extremely common in casual speech and writing, where speakers treat ATM as a standalone word rather than an acronym.
The machine itself dispenses cash and handles basic banking transactions.
Similar redundancies include PIN number and LCD display, where the expanded acronym already contains the repeated word.
