I'm not sure about the US but in the UK we have ATM machines that you can exchange Bitcoins for cash right there and then.
Wow! Is this for real, mate? I used to hear about ATMs where you can reload your Bitcoin wallet, or something like that. I haven't heard of ATM machines from which one can actually withdraw cash. That sounds very cool.

How I wish that kind of innovation will reach my country too.
we have this in australia! very limited number of machines, 90% of them are buying btc only but there are a couple that you can cash btc out of, i think its fantastic

very good for needing money in an emergency
