One Million Dollar Coin
Interesting… a One Million Dollar Coin from the Royal Canadian Mint!
The worlds first 100 kg. 99999 pure gold bullion coin with a $1 million face value, and at 53 centimetres (21 inches) in diameter and over 3 cm (1.2 inches) thick, the massive coin is the size of an extra-large pizza, was introduced on May 2, 2007 to the international market.
Coins minted from precious metals have intrigued me ever since I did the research for Spud & Harry #1.

You’d think there was something better to do with a million dollars than build a big coin…….. like anything other than building a big coin, for instance.
It isn’t so much DOING something with 1 million dollars as it IS 1 million dollars.
If I was to ever have 1 million dollars, I’d want to have it as a giant pizza sized gold coin.

Hmm… I wonder if the million dollar coin is bugged. Better get the Defense Department on that ASAP.
