MANHATTAN, New York (WABC) -- These days, you can buy a wide variety of items from vending machines, but now you can add NFTs!

You can find it on John Street near Broadway.

The machine accepts credit and debit cards then dispenses a box with a unique code inside for your chosen NFT.

WSYX reporter Myles Harris was in the field in Columbus, Ohio, reporting Tuesday when his mom happened to drive by.

The idea comes from the company "Neon," which hopes to make digital art sales available to everyone ... and it seems like it's working.

The machine already sold out of NFTs but it has since been restocked.

You can check it out for yourself 24/7.
