Entering your ATM in the reverse order DOES NOT ALERT THE POLICE

There's been an urban legend going around which says that entering your ATM pin in reverse will still dispense the cash and also summon the authorities sending them an alarm that you are being made to withdraw the money against your will.This is not true and is only an urban legend. Though the technology to implement such a system exists, it has not been implemented by any bank anywhere in the world.
