PIN is an acronym for Personal identification number, therefore you wouldn't be saying 'Personal identification number, number', would you?

You either say PIN, or PI number.

And you use it at an ATM machine, right?

An ATM is an acronym for automated teller machine.

PIN is an an acronym, however ATM is an initialism.
Acronym
noun
a word formed from the initial letters or groups of letters of words in a set phrase or series of words and pronounced as a separate word, as Wac from Women's Army Corps, OPEC from Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries, or loran from long-range navigation.

Initalism

noun
a set of initials representing a name, organization, or the like, with each letter pronounced separately, as FBI for Federal Bureau of Investigation.

Correct. BUT.

PIN is ambiguous, so is PI number. One might give you a prick (fnarr), the other a clever-clogs mathematician. Therefore, PIN number is the safest way to communicate what you are referring to.

Do you know the first one in this country was officially opened by ‘On the Buses’ star Reg Varney.
It was an Enfield branch of Barclays in 1967.

'Sussex by the Sea' was definitely played at our last FA Cup semi-final. The Metropolitan Police Band were resident at Highbury, sitting in the paddock in front of the main stand towards our end. I think they even had a vocalist who sang it. (No clapping and so at the right speed!)
