More Gold and Silver ATMs in China

Saturday, September 21, 2013 0:22

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.

I posted in the introduction of Gold ATM in Beijing China in August 2011.

It appears that Beijing’s precious metals ATMs will be expanding.

From WantChinaTimes: (hat tip Charleston Voice)

People in Beijing can now buy gold or silver coins at ATMs after the Beijing-based Hua Xia Bank introduced five of the machines earlier this month, according to Hong Kong’s We Wei Po.

The bank installed the five machines at its branches across the city in Xidan, Fangzhuang, Zhongguancun, Dongdan and on Qingnian Road.

The ATMs look like ordinary teller machines but have an additional compartment to dispense the gold and silver coins. The machines currently offer panda souvenir gold or silver coins and Year of the Snake silver coin and plate sets.

A single 1-oz panda silver coin priced at 268 yuan (US$40) is the cheapest item available, while the panda gold coin set is the most expensive at 23,800 yuan (US$3,800).

Buyers can purchase the coins using their bank cards. After they place their orders using the machine’s touchscreen, their payments are verified through bank card organization China UnionPay and they can pick up their purchased items through the opening on the lower part of the machine.

Gold ATMs have also been introduced in Germany in 2009

Despite the recent crash in Gold prices, the introduction of Gold-Silver ATMs, which means more people will have access to physical gold, reinforces signs of the growing divergence between Wall Street “paper” gold and “real” gold: where paper gold’s inventory from the West have sizably diminished and have been converted into physical gold and flown to the East (Comex inventories chart from Seeking Alpha)

As the great Ludwig von Mises wrote, (bold emphasis mine)

Under the gold standard gold is money and money is gold. It is immaterial whether or not the laws assign legal tender quality only to gold coins minted by the government. What counts is that these coins really contain a fixed weight of gold and that every quantity of bullion can be transformed into coins. Under the gold standard the dollar and the pound sterling were merely names for a definite weight of gold, within very narrow margins precisely determined by the laws. We may call such a sort of money commodity money.
