A mechanical vending machine exchanging 1€-coins for Bitcoin. It works using the easywallet.org service which provides a Bitcoin wallet with a web interface not unlike an online banking account, but much simpler.
The only way to access the account is through a secret link, which is received in exchange for the 1€-coin. Opening this link in a web browser, the costumer can instantly send this 1€ (minus material costs) to another Bitcoin user, for example Wikileaks. (There is also an announcement on bitcointalk)
