The LEGO ATM is a Solid Investment
Alex Scott — April 22, 2010 — Art & Design
I will give you respect if you can build a life-size replica out of LEGO bricks, but to build a fully functioning LEGO ATM? Well, I would hail you as some sort of toy block god. This incredible machine doesn't just spit out $20s at you, it lets you deposit funds, cash checks--heck, it probably even draws you up a mortgage rate. My favorite part of this contraption is that it actually gives you change. No real bank machine in Canada can do that!
The LEGO ATM comes from the brilliant mind of Ronald McCrae. Complete with flashing lights and sounds, this gadget houses more competence than most human tellers. I have no problem paying the surcharge to use this baby!
