$1 million coin minted!

THE biggest, heaviest and inherently most valuable gold coin in the world has been unveiled by the Perth Mint.

Weighing 1012 kilograms, it is more than a tonne of 99.99 per cent pure gold worth more than $53.5 million.

The giant coin is 80 centimetres wide, 12 centimetres deep, took 18 months to create and features a bounding red kangaroo on one side and the Queen's motif on the other.

Some kid will probably end up putting it into a soda vending machine. Or it will turn up in the return slot at the local CoinStar machine.:nono:
 
It kept getting rejected at the coin star so they gave the girl face value. She probably has hungry kids at home. Lol:laughing:



BTW it's fake. It's made from styrafoam and fiberglass probably weighs about a half oz and painted. Like a stage prop. If not I'm stealing it
