ATM dispensing unusual wares

Postby germainebull » 30 May 2016, 04:33

I've heard that there are ATMs that dispense items other than money. This is a new thing to me.

I wanna know: What is the craziest item that you've seen an ATM dispense. Where is this ATM?

If I ever go to an atm and it doesn't offer me a cash option, I am not going to insert my card into it. it might be one with a card reader that rips you off.

Offering hard goods would move it into the vending machine category. By definition, and ATM is an Automated Teller Machine and a bank teller only dispenses cash where I come from.

Come on guys! Have you not heard of a machine that dispenses gold? I understand that it is somewhere in Dubai. I was hoping to get enlightened from you but you've disappointed me big time :lol:

How would someone living in the United States know about what happens thousands of miles away in India less than two weeks ago? If you already know, why are you asking about it?

I have seen vending machines delivering many edibles, coke, and other cold and hot drinks but no one calls them ATM machine, not in my knowledge at least.

That is not an ATM, it is simply a vending machine. I saw the guy insert some paper bills before the gold chip or whatever it is came out.

ATM machines are Automatic Teller Machines that deliver cash transactions for banking purposes.

Interesting.
So, how would an ATM/vending machine 'eat' my cash?
Or, it is 'card'?

In New Zealand we have the "Spark ATM" where ATM stands for automatic thanks machine. It's basically a prize ATM that our biggest Telco does. Prizes include credit, free phones etc.

What a great way to give back to the customers that got them where they are! :clap:

A new idea there.
So, what name do you give to these machines?
