It’s always fascinating to witness new interactive kiosks popping up all over the place for all sorts of industries. ![[goldbox.jpg]](http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_4BPmk_OwasU/SkLXMiR1ZqI/AAAAAAAAAQY/5pU46RIM80w/s1600/goldbox.jpg)
One that caught our eye this week was a new line of vending kiosks marketed by TG-Gold-Super-Markt which will allow people to purchase one to ten gram pieces of gold with a few button pushes.
The first of these new “gold dispensing machines” appeared in Frankfurt in the summer. The company plans to install more in airports and railroad stations across Germany eventually branching out to Switzerland and Austria, according to a Financial Times report.
The current model, with the name “Gold to Go” is nothing more than a striking gold box, but it does have video surveillance and up-to-date pricing. These may never become as commonplace as your standard ATM, but perhaps the design will improve as people become used to purchasing security in little gold nuggets rather than with the Queen’s side-profile on crisp notes.
