Vending Machine Bills Via Your Veins
While Japanese banks have been using this technology for years, Hitachi have implemented this technology to – Vending Machines ^^. You can pay your can or bottle drinks using your veins! No coins or bills are involved ;)
Hitachi’s proprietary biometric authentication system requires that users first register an account (probably linking their vein pattern to their registered credit card), but it allows the buyers to purchase a can of green tea or coffee by inserting their hand into the machine for a quick scan!
The company also incorporated a digital signage system so that buyers will get to see personalized ads or other information on an LCD screen. [Crunchgear]
Hm.. sadly we’re that behind in technology >_>. I think I might have to wait for 5-10 more years before I start seeing ATM machines using my vein to withdraw money and stuff XD.

This would be a good payment system for people like me who lose money easily xD
As long as I don’t loose my arm I should be alright =3
I’m sure this doesn’t solved the issue of drinks and food getting stuck in the machine… which seems to happen to me at least 20% of the time xD
