Onay Atinlay, Onay Oneymay


The resolution is unfortunately too coarse to make out the words, but I'm told this is the ATM machine at the Vatican, with instructions in Latin only.

Now, how would one render "ATM" in Latin?




Thanks to "papabear", I found an image one can read:

    Dr. Pakaluk, you can see a close-up at Fr. Coulter's website for Fr. R. Foster:

    No clue about translating ATM from http://www.vatican.va/roman_curia/institutions_connected/latinitas/documents/rc_latinitas_20040601_lexicon_it.html
    but I suspect it wouldn't be too hard to create a Latin neologism...
