Darn, I just checked, I can only get two of them this month.
Will they still have them next month?

I always thought medals were like those Olympic medals. I'd hate to wear this one around my neck though. :goofer:

 

You certainly wouldn't want to drop this humungous medal-coin on your foot.Being 100 kg. in weight & 53cm. in diameter is proof of why it deserves to be known by the nickname of 'Coinzilla'.

Spend that at a Mobil.

 

Crispy1995,the issue price is C$3,000,000,which is a good reason why you won't see this in circulation any time soon,or ever.

hello again folks:

I once heard that Canadian Gold Maple Leafs are preferred for their purity over other gold products in the making of jewellery in the far east. I believe the comment was in regards to melting the gold coins down, and using the gold to make various types of jewellery.

I guess perhaps having a 99999 pure gold coin would make a difference in this situation if the info I heard is indeed true.

Anyways the Royal Canadian Mint has a first on their hands with this new numismatic item. I haven't heard of any other 99999 coins made in the world yet.

Talk to you all later. :smile

 

Maybe this deserves a new category "

"Hubcap Coin"

 

If you go to mint.ca you can view the specs (i cant seem to get a link)

I was thinking of using mine to buy Ohio.

Edit, nope the above link takes your to RCM... the link won't work coz the whole site is in Flash.

 

I guess I will have to get out my old bib overalls so I can carry mine around to give it that circulated look!:goofer::hammer:

Here is some info ... without Flash. Maybe that helps.

Yes, thank you, Aidan.

 

and people complain about the new dollar coins being too heavy, pppffffff

 

Yea, try and change that at your local gas-n-go!!
Although...the way the price of gas is going you might not need much change back after filling your tank.

 

John,you will be interested in the Coinzilla.

Aidan.
