Gold-dispensing ATMs coming to America

Have you ever been awakened in the middle of the night by a strong craving for... gold? Given the dicey state of the U.S. dollar and European Euro, this craving has become commonplace, and now a German firm is about to satisfy that craving any time you want, day or night, with a gold-dispersing automatic teller machine.

Gold to Go machines are already in use in the Emirates Palace Hotel in Abu Dhabi, several spots in Germany, at the Westin Place in Madrid and the Orio al Serio International Airport near Milan, Italy. They are ready to dispense 24-karat gold in quantities from one gram (around $42.40) up to one-Troy-ounce Krugerrands and Kangaroos (around $1,315 today). Prices are updated every 10 seconds.
