50 Years Old This Year

[jakeydoodles]

Can anyone help with this question? I am celebrating my 50th anniversary in 2017 and it's been estimated that over 200 billion of me have been produced. What am I?

Thanks in advance.

I don't remember McDonalds being around in 1967. Wimpy bars, yes. I would plump for colour TV.

^ It is widely accepted that the first ATM was put into use by Barclays Bank in its Enfield Town branch in North London, United Kingdom, on 27 June 1967.[17] This machine was inaugurated by English comedy actor Reg Varney

200billion ATMS........ think not.

[Jackdaw33]

200 billion is a heluva lot of ATMs!

"According to the ATM Industry Association (ATMIA),[6] there are now close to 3 million ATMs installed worldwide.[7]"
So 2 billion made - think not neither!

Ellie may - in your link it says that there are 3 million atms worldwide so 200 billion can't have been produced ;-)

[Prudie]

200 billion even - definitely not

[elliemay1]

Okay, is it this??

McDonalds started in 1940 in the good old USA. After some franchise businesses were established it was joined by businessman Ray Kroc who joined the company as a franchise agent in 1955 and subsequently purchased the chain from the McDonald brothers.
