As economic fears drive gold prices to new highs, the creator of a gold-dispensing ATM is attracting attention around the globe.

Gold continued its record-breaking climb in global markets Wednesday after settling at an all-time high during volatile trading the day before.

Gold spot price hovered around the $1,200 an ounce mark on Friday after news of the U.S. jobs report was issued, and a holding pattern emerged among gold traders trying to interpret the impact of a plethora of global economic developments.

Gold climbed to a fresh five-month high Monday as the European debt crisis continued to pressure the euro and drive investors to the U.S. dollar.

Gold climbed on Friday to the highest price since December as potential losses in credit markets spurred demand for the precious metal as an alternative to holding currencies.

Now is a good time to buy gold because of the low U.S. interest rates.

Spot gold may have just reached its highest level in four months, but further increases could be just around the corner.

Prior to the establishment of the San Francisco Mint facility in 1854, private parties (primarily jewelers and assayers) produced their own gold coinage to fill the void.
