Upon landing in Dubrovnik, Croatia, we boldly headed to an airport bank machine for some local currency. I typically remember my PIN as a word and not a number, so wasn&#8217;t amused to find the bank machine&#8217;s keypad only had numbers on it! It took a couple of tries, but the machine eventually spit out my cash. Numeric keypads are common in some countries, so it&#8217;s a good idea to know your PIN as a number and not just as a word.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p><em>Considerations:<\/em><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>If you&#8217;re stumped converting letters to numbers, phone keypads are labelled with both.<\/li>\n<li>Limit the PIN to four digits, as certain machines will not accept passwords longer than that.<\/li>\n<li>Keep your travel money in your chequing account.
