The Emirates Palace announced today the start of selling of small souvenir gold bars engraved with the Emirates Palace logo, through the world’s first gold ATM Vending Machine. ’The Gold To Go’ vending machine project was launched by Mr. Hans Olbertz, General Manager of Emirates Palace, and Mr. Thomas Geissler, Chief Executive of Ex Oriente Lux AG, the inventor of the Gold to Go machine. Mr. Olbetz said : "We seized upon this idea and, as one of the most exclusive hotels in the world, we wanted the Emirates Palace to play a pioneering role and be the first hotel in the world to offer its guests this golden service." The machine, which monitors the price of gold minute-by minute, offers small bars that weight up to 1 g and 1 ounce engraved with the Emirates Palace logo, as well as a variety of coins. The creative idea could be taken to other world capitals after Abu Dhabi. Thomas Geissler, Chief Executive of Ex Oriente Lux AG, said ’’"If you ever have the privilege of staying in a place as wonderful as this you will surely want to take a special souvenir home with you’’. "And what could be more fitting than pure gold after a stay in such an exclusive atmosphere?" he added. Emirates Palace was the perfect setting for the global launch of GOLD to go on 12 May 2010. Developed by TG Gold-Super-Markt, a brand of Ex Oriente Lux AG, the new gold vending machine is installed in this unique luxury hotel and resort and features advanced technology and a wide array of products. In addition to 1 g, 5 g and 10 g bars of gold, the machine also dispenses gold coins.
