The United Arab Emirates Has Vending Machines That Sell Gold

When you think of the United Arab Emirates, what comes to mind? For us, it's looming skyscrapers and a scenic desert landscape. And now, we can add a gold vending machine to that imaginary photo in our heads. And we don't mean a vending machine that happens to be the color gold - we mean a vending machine where you can literally buy gold. That's right. You can buy sodas in USA vending machines and golden nuggets in the UAE.
