From a 2013 reddit AMA: "Each ATM is different. We do 12,500, but have ones with metal cases that reach 26k."
From a 2010 time article: "The average size machine can hold as much as $200,000, though few do. In off hours, most machines contain less than $10,000."
In the article they cite a Philadelphia theft case where a single stolen machine held $96,000.

As others replied, it varies.
In Japan, an ATM inside a bank might hold up to 40 million yen (≅ USD 350k) while an external one might have up to 30 million (≅ USD 270k).
Japan's a fairly safe country but there have been many cases of ATMs getting stolen too. Power shovel seems to be the method of choice.
