It’s low tech, but effective.
Why Germany? It has more ATMs than other European countries, and—if I read the article right—they have more money in them.
EDITED TO ADD (11/14): Blog readers commented that countries like the Netherlands have laws requiring ATMs to have better security features. One that I thought particularly clever is a small “glue explosion” inside the safe that’s triggered when the ATM safe is breached. The glue renders the currency worthless.
