My friend is traveling in Europe and came across this machine. He took a picture of it and sent it to me because he noticed the Bitcoin logo.

I’m not sure if you can actually buy those large toy Bitcoins, but if you can, I’d probably grab a few and give them to my friends. I’m guessing, though, it’s just a picture and you can’t actually buy them. The machine has some strange language on it—I honestly thought he was in Asia at first.

He wasn’t sure what it was either, but he figured it was some kind of ATM for buying Bitcoin.

Looks like Georgian script.

From ChatGPT:

The text in the image is in Georgian, the official language of Georgia (the country in the Caucasus region, not the U.S. state).

Here's what the text says and what it means:

---

Top:

CRYPTAL – This appears to be the name of the company or service related to the machine.

Middle (Cryptocurrencies):

TETHER (USDT) – A stablecoin.

BITCOIN – The well-known cryptocurrency.

LITECOIN – Another cryptocurrency.

Bottom (Georgian text):

იყიდე კრიპტო აქ – Transliteration: Iqidē kripto ak

Translation: Buy crypto here

ფეიბოქსი – Transliteration: Feiboqsi

Translation: Paybox (a localized term for a self-service payment terminal, likely a brand or generic name for the machine)

---

So, this is a crypto vending machine that allows you to buy cryptocurrencies like Tether (USDT), Bitcoin, and Litecoin. The interface is in both English and Georgian.

good information, sounds about right. It's too bad it's not a toy Bitcoin, I was gonna get my friend to go back and buy me some.

I could probably even video call with him and scan the qr and pay for it myself.

Have you seen bitcoin coins? They have it in some cheap material, but also in pure silver. And in amazon you can get a rocket "to the moon" with bitcoin and other crypto, I think the one I saw once was a dog toy l

Yes. I own some. Mine is with the cheap material and also one made of wood. I like them, if I see anything of that sort I'll buy it as long as it's not overly expensive.
