A gold-dispensing ATM machine is seen on its first day of operation at the Town Center Mall in Boca Raton, Florida Dec. 17. The Gold to Go gold bullion vending machine was brought to the United States by PMX Gold LLC.

Would you buy gold from a vending machine?

From Business Insider:

Investors can now go over to the mall and get .999 Credit Suisse gold bullion bars, minted gold American eagle coins. Each machine carries 320 gold bars and coins and automatically monitors and updates gold prices.

PMX has a money back offer too. If within 10 days of the purchase you have a change of heart, you could return the gold bar or coin and with price fluctuations you stand to make a profit or a loss. So, choose your dates wisely.

    I might be tempted, but I've lost lots of quarters in vending machines, so I'd be wary.
