The first gold-dispensing machine of US comes up in South Florida
The Gold to Go, gold-dispensing vending machine now stands proudly at a local mall in Boca Raton, Las Vegas. The machine is also its first in the U.S. The company previously made headlines when they launched their first machine at the Emirates Palace hotel in Abu Dhabi and since then they have popped up around Europe. According to AP, the Abu Dhabi machine is so popular it has to be restocked every couple of days. Prices are refigured every 10 minutes to reflect the price of gold (plus packaging, certification and a five per cent mark-up). The machine holds 320 pieces of different-sized bars and coins and will hold around $150,000 in cash and gold at any time.
While luxury vending machines in hotels seem ideally located, the new Gold to Go vending machine stands rather conspicuously in the Boca Raton mall, thus requiring armed bodyguards and several live security cameras.
