Hoping to offer those in a currency panic a way to offload their rapidly devaluating cash, TG-Gold-Super-Markt is installing vending machines that dispense 1 gram, 5 gram and 10 gram gold bars and coins. A prototype released in the Frankfurt Airport charged $42 for a tiny single gram of gold. The vending machine’s prices are updated every two minutes, but do not reflect global commodity fluctuations—instead offering a 30% premium above the true market price of gold. Recession-addled investors would be well-advised to invest elsewhere.
