Buying Gold...from a Vending machine?

"Hey, here's $30 Euros...about getting me a small fingernail's worth of gold....from the vending machine?"

A request like that...may soon be possible in Germany...a nation historically obsessed with inflation.

An entrepreneur hopes others countries will also be receptive to his concept... and he plans to place 500 more gold vending machine...around the world.
