ABU DHABI (AFP) – There's no mistaking what's in this vending machine. The well-heeled in the Gulf can now grab "gold to go" from a hotel lobby in the United Arab Emirates, when the need for a quick ingot strikes.
"In addition to one-gram, five-gram and 10-gram bars of gold, the machine also dispenses gold coins," it added.
Gold rates are constantly updated inside the shiny machine -- itself gold-plated -- in the hotel's lobby, courtesy of a built-in computer connected to a dealer which sells gold online.
"This eliminates the risk premiums usually associated with precious metal trading," the German company said.
(I'm glad my gas money is probably paying for this lol)
I could see a bunch of Arab dudes drunk as hell walking around double-fisting gold bars in each hand, singin that "We gettin arab money" song from GTA4 BOGT. lolol
