This is weird, but my aunt is a head of an art department at a small, private college. When she first joined the staff at the college, she stayed at a little campus rental home.
So, in this little rental which had the usual odds and ends collection of campus furniture, there was a case with, I kid you not, a magnificent emerald crown. It was labeled. I mean, GORGEOUS and rare object. It was bizarre that it was there.
I joked about putting it up on eBay. Who knows was happened to it. It was so freaky to see such a rare object so casually displayed. It should have been in a museum.

And Iām sorry for how hard I laughed when I read your post. 
You poor soul. 
It reminds me of a conversation I had a couple years back with an old friend that I only see every so often. I donāt recall what we were talking about, but I made some casual comment about furries, and he was like, āwait, whatās a furry?ā
And I was like, āwhat do you mean, āwhatās a furry?āā
And he was all, āI literally have no idea what youāre talking about.ā
So I explained what a furry was, and then he kind of paused and said, ādude, how do you know what a furry is?ā
And I replied, ādude, how do you not?ā
Ā
The internet is weird.

Well, I only learned about furries recently. I guess Iām just one of those innocents. You would enjoy meeting my wife. Iām sure sheās never heard of furries or goatse, but then she uses the computer for work and does crafts for a hobby. She has this wide-eyed innocent look about her that fools everyone. Then she says something completely obscene and everyone faints.
Us innocents have to stick together.
I wonāt say with what.

Humans are weird. The Internet is just an interactive museum of the weirdness.

The critter just wants to get to have a barrel is that too much to ask.

Donāt get me wrong, I have no interest in corrupting innocents, so to speak, and I could have cheerfully gone my entire life w/out ever seeing goatse. But the idea of that old thing popping up out of nowhere to bite someone new hit my funny bone at just the right angle.
I mean I truly do wish someone had warned you not to google it, as itās legitimately one of those images that canāt be unseen. The only silver lining is that, now that youāve seen it, youāll get the joke when it crops up elsewhere. Thatās small comfort, I know, but we do what we can to carry on after such traumas. 
Itās always the ones you least expect!

Donāt worry ā I wrote my response for laughs and Iām glad you also got a laugh! Actually I saw descriptions but . . . oh, darn it, I was going to say that I saw no images, but I did see one . . .

At the grocery storeāa vending machine to copy keys. Just stick your key in the slot, get dupes, pay by credit card.
What could possibly go wrong?

I wonder how it works on keys for common areas that say āDo Not Duplicate!ā on the side.

Thatās an interesting question.
I recently had our back door replaced, so I bought a new lock and wanted it keyed the same as the front door. That day, I learned that the keys go with the lock brand, and in order to have them keyed the same, Iād need to purchase the same brand of lock for the back door.
So, all that to say, I wonder if key / lock brand has something to do with it. Like, if you have a Schlage or Yale key, it will duplicate it, but not for unbranded ones? I have no idea, because all that would depend on them trying to be all above board.
To me, it looks like a neat machine to steal addresses and keys as well as credit card numbers (like @Daveb said) , but Iām a paranoid sort.

4. Can I copy āDo Not Duplicate,ā school building, high-security, public institution or other restricted keys?
No, this machine cannot be used for duplicating any keys marked āDo Not Duplicateā. See TERMS OF USE for more details.\
wishful thinking.
This machine is able to copy home and office keys. This includes most:
Kwikset, KW1 and KW10
Schlage, SC1
Weiser, WR3 and WR5 (in some areas)
Others: Baldwin, Titan and clones of the above key types
Padlock key Masterlock M1 (on some machines)
so medeco is out.

The first time I needed a Do Not Duplicate key copied, the store manager called the nearby locksmith to tell them I was coming in to get a DND key copied. My manager gave me $5 out of petty cash and sent me on my way.
I get down to the locksmith they had just called and he looked at my driverās license to see if I was who they had been told was coming. Copied the key, tacked on a DnD āservice chargeā and on my way I went. This was for a Stop 'n Rob (convenience store if you must) that I worked at in college.
The second time I had a DnD key copied I was in the military. I stopped by some civilian contractor ran place that asked me if I had permission to copy it, asked for (did not verify) my name and unit so he could charge them and made me two copies āin case the first one wasnāt cut right.ā
Iām sure there are lessons to be learned.
