"ATM" that dispenses GOLD now available....

...at Resorts World Sentosa and Marina Bay Sands.

See:

This is how one look like:

While it's more like a dispensing machine, just like those below, for some reasons, they decides to call it an "ATM" Not wrong as ATM stands for Automatic Teller Machine and teller is associated with banks and you can buy gold from banks as well, but its just weird to be called an "ATM"

So will we have GDM - Gold Deposit Machines alongside with Cash Deposit Machines (CDM) in future, where we can deposit used gold into the machines and get cash or money transferred to our bank account?

CitiBank CDM


If correct, press CONFIRM.
If wrong, press CORRECT ??

Confusing word usage seen at CitiBank Quick Cash Machine (the one that can be used to deposit and withdraw cash.)

I think CORRECTION is a better word to use.
