Of course Big Phil is no longer the largest gold coin. Canada made about 24 "million dollar" coins that weighed 100 Kg each. 268 troy pounds.
Vroomer that's very cool! Thanks for sharing your very unique opportunity with us. :smile Here are some older pics showing this coin when it was unveiled and another that I saved from a BBC article some time ago. Canada's Royal Mint also has a large gold coin, which sold in mid-2010 for $4 million! Check the video at the link for the Canadian coin, they show them casting the coin and finishing it.
There were 3 ninjas in each picture. If you still haven't found them, no worries. They aren't there to tickle you.
hmmm. new work out regime: find a near-68lb weight and start running on the treadmill with it. Then, next show where this is at... profit
Awesome pics and thanks for sharing. A chance to hold that baby and a ninja turtle shirt would make me all smiles to. Gratz
