Could you see me rollin that bad boy into Rick's Pawn shop. I would be like....

Yeah, that would be good. I can just see one of those wild Aussies driving a fork lift into the local pub, setting in on the bar, having it fall through the bar, and then yelling "Drinks on me, everybody!".

It's hard to believe that anything that small could weigh a ton. I think that they have inadvertantly solved the problem of scrappers stealing manhole covers.

I predict a rash of sales for pickup truck bed-mounted 2-ton winches.

1 metric ton = 32,151 troy ounces

@ $1750/oz that's $56.3 million

Wow!

I'd be happy with the gold shavings off their machining processes.

Yeah, me too... or a day's interest on Warren Buffet's fortune.
Rest in Peace

Why? Who does this benefit, other than a World Record? ... I like to live vicariously through other collectors!


For starters, this should allow for quite a bit of vicarious living.

It's advertising, a showpiece to demonstrate what can be done. It's like going into a tabac shop and looking at a $500 hookah while you decide on the $25 one you want.

A one tonne gold coin, eh?
That would be about as cumbersome as some of the larger examples of Yap Island stone money!

I would buy one if I hit the lottery and make it into a coffee table. Or put a large gold chain on it and make it a swing.
