akdrv Posted February 8, 2007 Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 You'd need mighty deep pockets to jingle the new coins planned by the Royal Canadian Mint: Canada's official money-maker wants to stamp out a $1-million coin. Coin experts say it would likely be made of gold, be the size of a pizza and be extremely heavy. Some numismatists wonder if it would be a good idea. The federal cabinet passed an order earlier this month at the recommendation of the transport minister allowing the mint to stamp out the non-circulation coins. http://www.cbc.ca/consumer/story/2007/02/07/coin.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
