CCFPress Press Manager United States 1420 Posts	Posted 10/26/2011 09:51 am The Perth Mint has made the biggest, heaviest gold coin in the world. Cast from 99.99% pure gold and issued as Australian legal tender, the monumental gold coin weighs one tonne. This video shows how The Perth Mint made the world's first one tonne gold coin, which features an iconic kangaroo design. Report this Post to the Staff

Splitting hair on terminology, would a coin be struck, and a medal cast? I like how they made the milled edge. Report this Post to the Staff
