.World's first gold-selling hambaiki installed in Tokyo.

TOKYO, January 19 (Itar-Tass) - The world's first gold-selling vending
machine ("hambaiki") has been installed in Tokyo, the Japanese press
reports on Wednesday.
The special vending machine, which sells gold coins and bullions
weighing from one to seven grammes to anyone wishing to do so, has been
devised by the Space International Ltd Company. The sole vending machine
of its kind is installed here in a downtown building that houses the
Company's office. Another such vending machine is to be installed soon at
Imperial Hotel in downtownTokyo.
The price of gold sold by the hambaiki is regulated every day in line
with the stock market current prices. A gold coin weighing 7.2 grammes,
issued by the Central Bank, is now the most expensive commodity sold by
this vending machine at a price of approximately $410.
Company CEO Makishi Rokugawa points out, "It may so happen that waking
up one day you would realize that all your money turned into a mere paper.
This is why, I am sure that gold is the best way of monetary investment".
Mr. Rokugawa told journalists that his company got far-reaching plans
for developing vending machines to sell precious metals. Next year the
Space International is planning to reach out to the nationwide level,
siting similar vending machines in a majority of large cities of Japan.The
Company also mulls in earnest over the possiblity of getting to the market
of Hong Kong.
On the last day of 2010, gold price bounced up to an all-time high.
Many analysts are inclined to think that gold is currently the most
optimum object of financial inputs. Besides, gold has been always
immensely popular in China and India -- the two most rapidly developing
economies of our time.
