What can you possibly think of that dispenses from a vending machine? Maybe a snack, a drink or even an umbrella? Well for this new innovation you will need more than just a few bucks to make a purchase. Recently, China has introduced their first gold dispensing vending machine in the popular Wangfujing Street. Even though other countries such as the United States and Britain are already familiar with the gold vending machine, the Chinese are extremely fascinated with this invention. Customers can buy various gold items by inserting direct cash or a bankcard. With the gold prices constantly sky rocketing, the demand for this commodity will also increase because gold is a solid investment that will unlikely depreciate in value.

With advancing technologies and mind-blowing gadgets like these, I will not be surprised if they soon introduce a diamond dispensing machine.<\/p>\n

This piece of gold dispensed from the vending machine is worth around $156,500 U.S.<\/p><\/div>\n
