Default Redundant phrases

Another pet peeve of mine, including:

hot water heater
PIN number
ATM machine
IRA account

Any others?

He is referencing the fact that you don't need "hot" beside water heater, if it is a heater, we already know it's hot.

PIN stands for "personal identification number" - thus "personal identification number number" just doesn't make sense - the appended use of number is redundant.
