Canadian 1 Million Dollar Coin

Very interesting I'll admit. I heard about it on the radio today.

However, and I guess it depends on definition, I don't see it as a "coin.

Maybe I'm an old fuddy duddy but I find this one of the most rediculous things modern man has come up with. Collecting coins is one thing, but how can this be considered a coin? What can possibly be done with it? I've really lost a lot of respect for Canada, and for any other country that may follow suit. A giant step backward to when our forefathers worshiped idols. That is really what this is, an idol.
