Gold Sold From Vending Machines In Germany

Posted by samzenpus on from the correct-change-only dept.

There are fewer hassles for an adventurer or business traveler bigger than lugging around bags of silver and copper pieces. Luckily TG-Gold-Super-Markt has installed gold vending machines in 500 locations including train stations and airports all across Germany. The machines charge about 30% more than the current trading price for gold, and are updated every few minutes. All are closely monitored by cameras, and like 3rd and 4th edition, electrum pieces are not accepted.

    Is this the next level of the Cash For Gold commercials that seem to be everywhere? Buy gold off of people at a ridiculously low price,s melt it down, resell it at a stupidly high price, and the keep repeating the cycle.

    I think we finally uncovered Ron Paul's endgame.
