Zach Harvey, CEO of Lamassu, told CoinDesk he is currently in Portugal overseeing production, assembly and export of the machines.
"It's an amazing feeling to go from a wooden box/Raspberry Pi prototype in February to shipping a hardened steel production model in October," he said, adding:
"That being said, this is still an on-going process, so we don't really have time to sit back and enjoy the feeling. We have 13 more machines to ship out next week."
Harvey explained the next two machines produced are going to the Crypto-Currency Conference in Atlanta and the Money2020 Conference in Las Vegas.
Next week, the company is shipping units out to a few undisclosed locations, plus:
Bratislava, Slovakia
Shanghai, China
Paris, France
Montreal, Canada
Sydney, Australia
Nimbin, Australia
Auckland, New Zealand
Helsinki, Finland
Copenhagen, Denmark
Stockholm, Sweden
São Paulo, Brazil
Harvey went on to say there are over 25 units going out in the second run, which will ship in late November. The company is now accepting orders for the third run, which will ship in the first quarter of 2014.

Federal Reserve Cuts Rates 25 Basis Points, With Two Voting for Steady Policy
The anticipated move comes as policymakers are still operating without several key economic data releases that remain delayed or suspended due to the U.S. government shutdown.
What to know:
- As expected, the Federal Reserve trimmed its benchmark fed funds rate range by 25 basis points on Wednesday afternoon.
