With currency values swinging wildly due to the global economy...and investments roller-coaster ups and downs..many think 'gold' is where it's at.  Now you can jump into the gold fenzy and buy your own gold bars using an ATM.  Recently installed in Boca Town Center, the ATM uses credit cards/cash or debit cards and exchanges them for gold bars in a cute little box.  You basically choose the size you want and the machine will dispense your gold.

Ex Oriente Lux first installed the machine in an Abu Dabi hotel and has been expanding the business quickly.  Boca Raton, FL gets the first US location of the Gold Dispensing ATM (called Gold To Go, The gold ATM) and Las Vegas is the next spot on the list.   These could actually make a great gift for that hard to shop for person on your Christmas list.  I'm wondering if this will be a temporary spot for the machine...or if will stay put for a while.
