The Royal Canadian Mint unveiled a welcome addition to any piggy bank on Thursday -- a monster gold coin with a face value of C$1 million (455,000 pounds) that it says is the world's biggest, purest and highest denomination coin. Weighing in at 100 kilograms (220.5 pounds), the limited edition coin easily dwarfs its closest rival, the 31 kg (68 pound) "Big Phil", which was made to honour the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra and has a face value of a mere 100,000 euros (C$150,000).

Wow...but whats the point of it?

I doubt anyone can carry a 100kg coin lol. I guess it's only use is for display lol.

It'd be a bit hard to spend

how would anyone give you change?

 

[MuffinMan]

haha you're more likely to get rolled before you get a chance to spend it

 

[vulgarfraction]

Just buy a shitload of stuff. =P

Still seems a bit overkill/pointless though.

 

[MuffinMan]

but isn't the idea not to spend it? Like I mean, if you wanted to spend it, why don't you just ask 1 million to be deposited to your account?? Eftpos is way simpler.

 

[vulgarfraction]

Haha it's worth way more than a million anyway.

i wouldnt mind if i put that as a display
but then again, itll probably disappear a day or two after getting it

 

[MuffinMan]

haha if the japs bought one it'll be stolen in like less than an hour. Whoever though about securityless gold displays is an idiot lol.
