I wonder, does that cash machine allow a single-character backup?
Last time I made a typo on the second digit, I was only able to erase
it all and begin anew.

If you have to retype the entire number again, then the only difference
between an automated acceptance (with a retry) and hitting the restart
button is that one scenario uses up one of your chances.

If you typo three times in a row you deserve to have it locked anyway. :P
