Gold ATM - Las Vegas style

Hello all.

I was in Vegas this week and managed to make it to see the gold ATM.

It was pretty cool. But the giant nuggets across from it, were awesome.

In the display was the largest nugget ever coming in at 875 Troy ounces and was called "the hand of faith". There was also another large nugget probably about 200-300 ounces called robins nugget that robin apparently found in the backyard of their trailer 3 inches underground.

I may have the story wrong as I was a bit tipsy.

However, the gold was priced ok, with a premium a bit higher than you see at the regular B&M.

They had 1, 2.5, 5, 10, gram pamp suisse lady fortuna bars. They also had a special 10 gram golden nugget branded bar and a one ounce gold eagle.

The prices were 1 gram = 59 2.5=139 5=265. I don't remember the others and the age was an outrageous 1575 or so.

I picked up the 5 gram bar for the novelty (the craps gables had been good to me). It came in a nice black box (similar to and intercept shield slab box) that when pulled apart had a nice padded case with the bar and a brochure for the ATM company.

Overall a very neat experience. BTW it's at the golden nugget downtown.

Have a great day.

  • I would feel safe in a Casino setting, but getting gold out of a machine at a strip mall or grocery store would seem likely to attract the wrong kind of attention to myself. I would imagine these will only be set up in secure places. Does the machine take a credit card or do you have to put in cash only?

  • The machine was taking cash only. The credit card machine was broken.

    So I guess the answer is yes.

  • I could see one of these for silver doing very well. Who wouldn't put in a ten dollar bill now and then?

    Any pics of the gold you got?

    If there was a gold or silver one close to me, like on the way home from work, I wouldn't think twice about doing a $50-100 stop a time or 2/week.
