Need to spend gold? Visit the Emirates Palace
The world’s first gold vending machine has a perfect home.
Got cash – Get gold. The Emirates Palace, Abu Dhabi welcomed its new resident for the global launch of GOLD to go® on 12 May 2010 a gold vending machine. The machine itself is 24 carat gold-plated, fits perfectly to its location at the Emirates Palace, often referred to as the golden hotel since its opening 5 years ago
Developed by TG Gold-Super-Markt, a brand of Ex Oriente Lux AG, the new gold vending machine is installed in this unique luxury hotel and resort and features advanced technology and a wide array of products. In addition to 1 g, 5 g and 10 g bars of gold, the machine also dispenses gold coins bearing designs such as the Krugerrand, Maple Leaf and Kangaroo, which are sold in gift boxes at real-time prices. In this domain of the rich and the
beautiful, GOLD to go® will be perceived as an extra special gift idea, combining the joy of giving with an investment in a precious metal – physical gold is, after all, still one of the most sustainable forms of investment.
A computer inside the machine ensures that the real-time prices are updated in line with the online shop at Gold-Super-Markt.de. This eliminates the risk premiums usually associated with precious metal trading. As no sales staffs are needed to operate the machine, clients benefit from very competitive prices. All of the gold bars sold are 24 carat and every item comes with a money-back guarantee. It has never been easier for individuals to purchase gold bars and coins in guaranteed quality quickly, simply and conveniently at fair prices.
The gold vending machine therefore offers private investors an opportunity to top up their gold caches. With their sophisticated packaging, the gold products from the machine are also ideal as special gifts with long-term value.
