What happens to ATM machines when the govt print money?

Looks great on the surface. They quote 98% of 'spot price', which I hope refers to the spot price of the minted coins/bars you bought rather than bullion spot price, as the coins are much more expensive than bullion per kg?

Looking at a few products, comparing buying and selling coins/bars on bullion vault:

Buying: 
Feingold 1 Kilo 		£30567
Gold Sovereigns 		£  229 	
1oz Gold Britannia 		£  997 	
1 Oz Krugerrand 		£  978


Selling back: 
Feingold 1 Kilo 		£29324.13 	= 96%
Gold Sovereigns (mixed years)	£  214.54	= 93.7%
1oz gold Britania (2011) 	£  912.48  	= 91.5%
1 Oz Krugerrand 		£  912.61 	= 93%

I believe around 2% for the coins.

What's the bid-offer spread for buying and selling them?

Yes, lots and lots of gold sovereigns. No GCT on them as they are classed as legal tender. Same for Britannias as well.

If the gold price crashes I'll give them to family as presents.

All I can say is, money isn't worth tulip.

They have them all over the place in Dubai. Not as good as the airport where you could buy by the kilo... I imagine it to be like buying fudge where they cut off slices from the ingot

Have you bought any real gold from them?

You can sell it to any number of "cash for gold" operators, and half your money again.

If anyone actually wants to buy gold at a realistic price I can recommend Buy Gold Bullion Online ¦ Gold Bars ¦ Gold Coins ¦ Buy Gold UK ¦ UK Bullion Dealers

I've used them no problem.

I could do a better deal than that.

I wonder how you sell those vending machine coins/ingots, is there a vending machine for that? If you have to sell them for scrap value you might end up losing half your admittedly worthless fiat currency.

Shush now, you'll be upsetting a few people...

[TimberWolf]

Shoppers can pick up a 1g coin for roughly £40 or a 250g bar for £10,250.
