Gold ATM

Where would the first-ever gold ATM hail from? Dubai, of course! The vending machine is not made of this dense metal, but it dispenses small golden bars as an ATM does with cash. The machine was unveiled at a hotel in Abu Dhabi in May 2010, attracting many visitors within the first few minutes of opening.

The ATM is German-created and displays a live display of the rates. It has been placed in one of Abu Dhabi’s most luxurious hotels, “Emirates Palace Hotel,” which distributes one, five, and ten grams worth of bars.
