Lotus Flower Bridge
In the 2 nd June 1999 was issued another ATM to be used in both Klüssendorf and Nagler machines . It was the Ponte Flor de Lotus ( Lotus Flower Bridge ) issue . This ATM was designed by Lei Vai Han and it shows the bridge with that name . The ATM paper was printed by I.N.C.M.( Impressa Nacional Casa da Moeda ) in Lisboa , Portugal . The standart values for this issue were the same from the previoss ones issued ( 1,00 ; 1,50 ;3,50 and 4,50 MOP ) as well as the aditional values for both machines .

Machine location
As mentioned before , Macau is a very small territory ( similar to a town ) so it is possible to know the location of all the Klüssendorf and Nagler machines used in that territory .

The Lotus Flower Bridge REIMP 2000
In the 1st February 2001 ( when Macau was already under chinese administration ) , the Lotus Flower Bridge ATM was reprint again , this time by Enschedé ( in Nederland ) .
The new ATM is very similar to the anterior issue and the only diferences are the « REIMP 2000 » legend in the inferior right corner , instead of the « I.N.C.M. » legend used in the anterior issue , the deleted « LEI VAI HAN des. » legend in the inferior left corner and a lighter colors ( specialy the blue color ) .
As this new ATM was issued under the chinese administration of Macau , and as these HTML are only refering to the ATM´s issued under the portuguese administration , I will not aboard ( at least for now ) this new reprint .
