I'm pretty sure everyone have seen this but if someone hasn't : this is Canada's million dollar coin, and it's a whopping hundred kilo of .9999 Here is a little article if you care to read more..... he million dollar coin was recently certified by Guinness World Records as the world’s largest gold bullion coin. “The Olympic Games are an unrivalled opportunity for Canada to showcase the best it has to offer, and this also applies to the Royal Canadian Mint’s products,” said Emerson. “The Beijing Games bring many cultures together, and the Mint’s gold and silver works of art represent Canada’s spirit and heritage in a unique and appealing way.” The million dollar coin was originally conceived as a unique showpiece to promote the mint’s new line of 99999 pure 1-ounce gold Maple Leaf bullion coins. Since its introduction in 2007, the coin has been displayed in Canada and around the world, including the United States, Germany, Austria, the United Arab Emirates, Finland and the Baltic States.

You'd have to lift it first, it weighs 100kg (~220 lbs). They do have one for sale, or at least did a few weeks ago... I can't imagine what the shipping would cost Although, I suppose if you can afford a 100kg gold coin, you're not too worried about shipping costs.
