In the 26 th February 1999 a new ATM was issued to use in the Crouzet machines . It was the O Amolador ( The Knive Grinder ) issue . This ATM was design by José Luís Tinoco and it shows a popular working figure remoting to the XIX Century of old and tradicional Lisboa . The standart values of this ATM were : 50 ; 95 ; 100 ; 140 PTE and the Correio Azul values of 80 ( national ) and 350 ( international ) PTE´s . The receipts for these ATM´s were printed in the same paper of the ATM ( just like in the other Crouzet issues ) .
