Earlier today, the Perth Mint of Australia used Twitter to announce a 1 tonne Gold Kangaroo coin. The 1 tonne weight is equal to 1,000 kilograms or 32,150.7466 troy ounces. Based on the current market price of gold, the coin has a value of more than US$55 million based on the gold content alone.

I'm sure there will be a line out the door for this one.

Who is the market for this? Countries? Hedge funds?

to one up (x10) Royal Canadian Mint's 100KG gold maple leaf, but us Canadians still hold the "purest" + largest title I suppose, since the 100kg gold maple is 99999 pure.

on a side note. Kind of excited that i'll have a chance to see the 100kg maple. It'll be in town on loan/display for a day. ***hashing out a plan to whisk it away in my pocket, going to have to borrow my wife's stockings

It is definitely NOT the biggest coin in the World.

You have to go to Yap Island to find the biggest coins.
