<p>[QUOTE=&quot;krispy, post: 1073764, member: 19065&quot;]In this case you really shouldn&#039;t. It is a gimmick and panders to those with money to blow who are prone to such novelty playing off the media attention precious metals have gained in recent years. </p><p><br /></p><p>However, we once bought stamps (denominated currency) from vending machines. Train and subway tickets are still acquired in this manner. Vending machines are useful and account for much of the use of coinage in our financial culture and daily transactions. </p><p><br /></p><p>Vending machines are a world wide tool of sales and convenience. There are reportedly some 23 vending machines for every one person in Japan. While the US is not as saturated being more spread out, they are everywhere and offer us newspapers, food, drink, luggage carts at airports, locker rental, toiletries in hotels... by extension, it&#039;s not so far-fetched in a culture turning to the prospects and security of gold to have precious metals vending machines. The important thing to realize is that <i>these </i>vending are capitalizing off precious metals hysteria and perhaps some ignorance of its above spot price value. Were there to be reasonably priced bullion or collectibles in vending machines at your local banking institution I don&#039;t think you and others would be so quick to judge the idea of gold atms and vending machines.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
