One Million Dollar Coin!


Way to go, Canada!
The Royal Canadian Mint will open bidding on August 16th for the world's largest gold coin! The coin weighs 100KG (220lbs for you Americans), and is worth ONE MILLION DOLLARS! Look, it's printed right on the coin, isn't that so funny?

I'd love to take this coin to the dollar store and buy 1,000,000.00 articles of useless $1 crap. Oh, wait, there's tax- I guess I couldn't quite buy 1,000,000.00 things, then. You'd need an additional $150,000 for the 15% GST Provincial tax in New Brunswick! That's a sickening realization, right there.

Or what about asking someone, "Hey, do you have change for a MILLION?"
