Vending Machines That Dispense Gold Bars
“Those looking for a solid investment in these uncertain economic times should consider a trip to Frankfurt Airport. The Germans have fitted it out with a special vending machine – which dispenses pure gold. TG-Gold-Super-Markt is the first such machine in the world and made its debut this week at Terminal 1. A prototype Gold to Go machine yesterday doled out a 1g wafer of gold for $41, a 10g bar for $341, or gold coins. The products come in presentation packs with a certificate of authenticity. A computer inside the machine is linked to the Frankfurt gold market and updates the price every few minutes according to the fluctuating price of the precious metal. But the price will always be about 30 per cent higher than the market rate on any given day.” w/ photos
