Gold To Go – the world’s first gold vending machine. Already installed in Abu Dhabi, Germany, Italy and Spain. Next stop, Las Vegas and Florida.
From the hideous blurb:
The GOLD to go vending machine is an unmanned point of sale. It offers an extraordinary opportunity to purchase gold bars and coins of assured quality, backed by the security of a Swabian Fort Knox® and with the ease-of-use of a vending machine. Prices are updated in real-time. The GOLD to go gold vending machine is largely burglar-proof and tamper-resistant. It has an excellent user guidance, which makes it very easy to handle.
‘Burglar proof and tamper resistant’, eh?
Sounds like a challenge.
