Vending Machine Gold Launches Today in London

Following last year's launch in the Dubai airport, Gold to Go today launched its first gold vending machine in the UK, in the Westfield shopping center in London.
Also of interest, the sheeple are allowed to exchange their fiat for a small amount of gold, but

"Anyone who spends more than £2,500 will have to scan their passport to satisfy anti-money laundering rules."

£2,500 is a mere 2.5 ounces!
If you think chocolate bars are a little overpriced these days, then this isn't the vending machine for you.
For the only bars you can get here are made of pure gold and will set you back somewhat more than 70p.
Britain's first gold vending machine 'Gold to Go' will open today in the Westfield shopping centre in west London.
It follows the launch of the first ever cash-for-gold machine which was switched on last year beneath the gold-coated ceilings of Abu Dhabi's Emirates Palace hotel.
The machines were first tested in Germany in 2009, but German manufactures Ex Oriente Lux chose Abu Dhabi for the official launch of the invention because of the region's high demand for gold.
