Whats the Highest Denomination World Coin?

I bought one of these the other day,

1992 Equatorial Guinea, 15,000 Francos.






I didn't buy it for the high denomination, but because it is 106 mm and 32 troy ounces of .999
.

One kilo of silver? I hope that whoever spends that coin has reinforced pockets. It would hurt the toes if it fell through a hole.

 

That's a real beauty there Steve! Man that coin is HUGE! Here are a couple more I am going to get for this type set. Beautiful design, I think it's really interesting how they added the Month and the Date. Don't recall seeing a coin with the Month and Date on it before.

 

Those are nice... Are they aluminum?

 

Yes , they are aluminum.

 

Brings new meaning to the word "pocket change" with something that large.

 

I don't have any pockets large enough to lug that thing around.

 

Received these the other day. After a little soak in verdicare they Look nice and almost proof like. I am still on the hunt for a nice problem free 50 million Notgeld coin. I will take my time until the right one comes along.

 

WoW! I wonder what Mike Mezak on Coin Collector would do with that one! Comparing that to M40 106mm recoilless rifle round ( actually 105mm), that is one BACoin! May I ask what you paid for it?

 

I got it for $18




Per ounce... that is.

 

WOW...VerdiCare...should let @BadThad know about that...he invented VerdiCare

 

So I get from what you are saying that folk didn't use the Notgeld notes for shopping? I seem to remember photos with folk with a wheel barrow load of notes to buy bread. Was that staged?

 

I was specifically referring to the Westfalen "coins".
