Tijuana, Mexico is slated to get it’s first two bitcoin ATMs this week  - just below the border from San Diego, California.

Operated by start-up Bitcoin42, the two-way ATMs are the first in Mexico (and Latin America, so far as Bitcoin42 claims), but also take the title of being the world’s first litecoin and dogecoin ATMs.

“With [the ATMs], customers will also be able to buy a limited amount of Litecoins and Dogecoins,” the statement read on the Bitcointalk forum.

One of the devices will accept Mexican pesos, the other will accept U.S. Dollars.

The ATM units (which Bitcoin42 has not yet shown off) are to be positioned at the BIT Center (Business, Innovation, Technology), and 10 percent of generated profits collected using the machines will be donated non-profit associations local to Tijuana (the customer will be able to choose which organization the funds go to).
