Gold ATMs Hit Great Britain

If you look back, I've written several times (for example, here and here) about the coming of ATMs that exchange paper fiat money for actual gold. This is just a precursor -- a taste -- of what I'm always talking about: modern banking based on sound money. Well, those gold ATMs, which started in Abu Dhabi and then came to Boca Raton, Florida, have arrived on the shores of Great Britain as well.

(I encourage you to read my full comments on this issue here, where I expound in more depth.)

Why is this significant? Because, as I've talked about repeatedly, this is just a "taste" of the modern specie-based banking we can look forward to, if we implement ideas like the Constitutional Tender Act. But that's why this idea is key: the more we get used to the notion of gold and silver being money, the sooner we'll finally return to sound money that holds its value -- and the sooner we can save our trashed economy.

'It would cost you a great deal more to get the gold out than the value of the gold inside,' Joe Dreixler, of Oriente Lux, said.
