Gold from a vending machine?

Leave it to UAE to come up with this. Now you can buy a gold bar as easily as grabbing a chocolate bar. A new vending machine, called Gold To Go (which is itself covered in 24-carat gold), was unveiled Wednesday at the Emirates Palace Hotel in Abu Dhabi. Customers can choose between six coins of different weights engraved with either a kangaroo, a krugerrand or a maple leaf to reflect the gold's country of origin. Wow, insane! More here.
