Goldbugs like anonymity. You know, in case Obama decides to pull an FDR and confiscate all their precious Au.

Except you have to use an ATM debit card in the machine. If you wanted anonymity or lack of traceability, I think you'd rather buy with cash, probably using an actual in-person transaction.

(I don't know if the US or other countries require registering identity of people buying gold in person in cash? I don't think the US does).

Any cash purchase (of anything, not gold in particular) over $10,000 requires submitting a form to the treasury. Not that that's easy to reliably enforce.

You could always offer cash to passers-by to use their debit card to make the purchase.
