Gold to go, ATM Gold Machine, Gold Vending Machine, Boca Town Center, Boca Raton, Florida, South Florida, Palm Beach County
Flowers? They die within a few days. Chocolates? In my case that would be eaten in minutes. Purses, shoes and clothing? Pleeease; that goes out of style in no time. Gold? Now we are talking; it would last a lifetime. Those were my thoughts when I read about the first gold vending machines in the U.S. Then I read that one was in Las Vegas at the Golden Nugget and the other was at the Boca Town Center in Boca Raton, Florida, which is a few miles south of Delray Beach. I just could not wait to see it.
South Florida is known for its affluence; flashy cars, mansions, expensive restaurants, over the top lifestyles. You know that there is money in a community when one of the first Gold to go – ATM machines in the U.S. has been installed and is already working. The location? The Boca Town Center located on Glades Rd. It is inside the mall. I went through the Neiman Marcus store, then turn right and then right again. It was right there on the center of the hall. It looked like a gold bar.
These machines are already in about 15 locations worldwide; Germany, Spain, Italy and Abu Dhabi. In the U.S. 40 more are in the planning stages of opening up.
So, now we can add to our shopping experience the power to buy gold on the spot. You can purchase Gold Bars and Coins. The machine is by Ex Oriente Lux, which owns Gold to go; www.gold-to-go.com.
There is a money back guarantee once you have purchased gold from these ATM machines. The one in Boca is operated by PMX Gold, located in Boca. If you are not satisfied, you can return it within 10 days of purchase, with receipt and bank details. The refund will be the purchase price plus/minus the amount equivalent to the percentage change in the gold price (London PM fixing) comparing the gold price on the purchase day with the gold price the day the gold is returned to them. They will also return your mailing expenses.
The gold coins and bars at the Gold ATM weigh up to 8 ounces. The prices are updated every 10 minutes based on real time spot price of gold. It churns out 20 to 100 pieces a day depending on the traffic.
The machine located at the Abu Dhabi’s Emirates Palace Hotel is restocked every 2 days. It is that popular.
It is worth mentioning that these machines limit the amout of gold purchased to curb money laundering.
Have a great day!!….talk to you later…..
