Coin-op WiFi

These guys are selling a coin-operated WiFi access point. Apparently, this isn't a joke.
He/She inserts coins to the specific amount and the unit will enable the network port of the wireless AP. He/She will be able to access the Internet for a specific time (controlled by the timer builtin the unit).
