World's Largest Gold Coin Set For Auction


The largest gold coin in the world - measuring 21 inches in diameter and weighing 220 pounds - will go on sale on June 25 in Vienna.

The Maple Leaf coin, which is listed in the Guinness Book of World Records and carries a face value of one million Canadian dollars (800,000 euros, 970,000 dollars), was minted in Canada in 2007.

Too bad it's worth so much. Would be great to leave this as a tip in a bar.
