So I just found out today, that Canada has a gold coin, made of 99.9999% Solid 24k gold that's legal currency valued at $1,000,000. Its weighs a whopping 100 Kilograms, or about 225-ish pounds. You can order one of this massive coins for somewhere between 2.5 and 3 million dollars.

I can just imagine some guy being like

"I would like to purchase your house. here is a massive coin"

or maybe going into a corner store and asking for change

There are only currently 5 of these in existence. This is a perfect example why it remains very important that I am NEVER rich...I would buy one of these in an instant

Put one of those in your pocket

Its a better deal then spending 20 grand on a gold Rolex that only actually has about $2500 worth a gold in it

but who's really going to spend that thing as actual currency?
