The most expensive coin in the world:
The world's most expensive coin is the double gold eagle coin and has been sold in America for 7.6 million. The 'double gold eagle' coin was made in 1933 but never made it into the wallets of Americans. The Government wanted them all back.
The US government changed their minds about people using the coin because it was made of gold, and ordered them all to be returned - all except three.
It's really only worth $20 .One side has a majestic eagle on it and the other shows a figure of Liberty. It's made of gold.
Two are in a very famous museum called The Smithsonian, but the third was stolen before it could be destroyed.
It ended up in a collection in Egypt before resurfacing in 1996, when the US Mint - who made the coin in the first place - arranged to buy it back.
They put it on sale at auction in New York, where it was sold for a whopping 7.6 million to an unnamed buyer.
