OpenStreetMap's database has the ATM tag. Through the Overpass API, you can quickly access the Points of Interest: Map of ATMs in Paris (Overpass API). Click on the points to see additional metadata (mainly the name of the operating bank).
Bonus: there is a good thread on XAPI call for all ATMS in OpenStreetMap's own Q&A plattform.

No leak
The Panama Papers were not leaked at all. They were handed over to a German media company which probably paid a good price (translation/summary here) for that deal.
This means, the panama papers generate a lot of media attention, and probably already paid off for the Süddeutsche Zeitung but it wont have much impact as long as the full papers are ...

What you are looking for is the Issuer Identifier Number (IIN), which are the first 6 digits of the credit card. Like @pndfam05 mentioned, there are many commercial databases that charge for more than 10 lookups.
But, there is binlist.net that offers either
a data dump on their github repo (raw CSV link), (it seems it is a limited file)
or a freely ...

There is no comprehensive source of open data as you describe, but there are public and restricted-access open data sets that can illuminate certain aspects of private company finances.

I've used the Yahoo Finance API in the past, but apparently it doesn't exist (although it works fine). There is no documentation.
For a site with documentation, I'd suggest Open Exchange Rates, which contains forex values that you are looking for, via an API.
There are many API methods and in particular for your case, you can request a time series.

After taking a look at the source code of the widget on a sample recipe page (selected at random by me), it appears that they are using http://corp.groceryserver.com/ as a data provider
For example, the recipe at http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Sherry-Braised-Beef-Short-Ribs/Detail.aspx makes an AJAX request to http://allrecipes.groceryserver.com/groceryserver/...

great question.

In particular, check out specific country pages for a lot of good details, as well as many project documents (in pdf) ...

You may get better answers on CodeReview, but just glancing at your code I have one suggestion that is to split the codes into a scraping and parsing steps. This will help with reproducibility and also by decoupling the steps you can easier debug.
