ATM PINS IN SPAIN

Has anyone ever had a problem with using a zero in their 4 digit PIN for an ATM in Spain? I remember reading somewhere to never use a zero.

My PIN has a zero in it, and it worked all over Spain without fail. (VISA debit card, Australian Credit Union)

there is a danger in any password of confusing 0 with O. But PIN are all numbers so no worries

If you are worried about this, and about the fact that European machines have numbers but no letters, why not change your PIN to four easily remembered digits without a zero?

OMG you mean American PIN (the N stands for Number) are in fact letters and numbers?

I used my ATM all over Spain last spring during my 3 week visit and my PIN number has a 0. Don't worry.
