It&#039;s made of gold.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p>Two are in a very famous museum called The Smithsonian, but the third was stolen before it could be destroyed. </p><p><br /></p><p>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. </p><p><br /></p><p>They put it on sale at auction in New York, where it was sold for a whopping 7.6 million to an unnamed buyer.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
