Sa halip na pera, 24 karat gold coins ang inilalabas ng isang automated teller machine (ATM) na inilagay sa Hyderabad, India.
Sa ulat ng Reuters, puwedeng bilhin ng kostumer ang iba't ibang variety ng gold coins sa ATM gamit ang debit o credit card.
Kaya umano ng ATM na maglagay ng hanggang 11 pounds ng ginto.
"These machines basically dispense the gold coins from 0.5 grams to 100 grams. (flash) So, total eight combinations are there and all the people, of whatever be the class," ayon kay Pratap, Vice President ng Goldsikka.
"Instead of going to jewelry showrooms, they can come here directly and they can get the coins here. So, these coins are 24 karat gold, 999 certified so, they will get their investment return as per the live price without any wastage," patuloy niya.
