This incredible vending machine doesn’t spit our diet coke, chocolates or snacks, but it provides you with 2.5gm gold biscuits at the existing exchange rate. The concept of gold vending machines was first established in the year 2010 in Abu Dhabi, when the first ever machine was installed and became operational in the luxurious Emirates Palace hotel. U.K has begun this remarkable offering at the Westfield Shopping Centre in west London, under the name of ‘Gold To Go’ initiative. Gold vending machine is the brainchild of Ex Oriente Lux, a German company that chose Abu Dhabi for the unveiling of this incredible gold dispensing system.
