OK, I know this is way way way off topic but I only now discoverd this little video of Rick Mercer visiting the Royal Canadian Mint. As the video is dated 2008, I am certain some if not most of you have already seen this gem.

If you haven't, its worth the 7 minuets of your life.

I guess I should have posted it on this forum too. The Refinery Vault shown at about 1:15 is the location for today's photo op and announcement of the sale of 1912-194 gold coins.


Mildly interesting fun fact: I play hockey with the guy who dropped the gold in the video.

I've never seen so many people panicking, and saying "Oh No,Oh No". Rick made them pretty nervous, I wonder how much gold he ate.

Not at all. There is a hallway above where the action takes place with windows so that you can see what they are doing as a guide explains the process. You don't get to go anywhere near the operations.

CTV Morning Live's Sarah Freemark spent the morning making gold and other currency at the Royal Canadian Mint.
