New to Frankfurt Airport – a vending machine which dispenses gold bars.
The prototype was trialed at Frankfurt Airport and is now being rolled out to 500 locations around Germany. It can dispense 1g, 5g & 10g gold bars/coins. The 1g wafer thin piece sells for around US42 and the 10g bar for $US341. However the price is updated every 2 minutes to reflect the gold price.
Given the premium on the smaller weights its not really an investment as much as a novelty or unique gift idea.
