The "Bid Phil" refered to has the weight of 1000 ounces that's why it is 31 kg.
There has been a very controversial in a Geman forum if it is really a coin if you need it to have a complete collection etc.
I guess it was only a metter of time until another mint released an even bigger coin.
I'm curious to see which mint picks up the challenge to set a new record.

I'd love to see the look in the slabbing room if that pup was ever submitted.

Yeah, knowing our huge sizes for everything we'd probably make a pure gold coin the size of a table.

I am $999,900 short of getting one. It will make a very great counter top.

Same here- although it actually costs closer to 2 million to produce each one, and the gold value is pretty high too- 100 kilos of it!

I thought it is ONLY 1 million. I need to work five more jobs since I really want one. LOL

Someone should make a wood copy of it. It will make a very great coffee table top.

I do beleive it is over 2.5 million in gold alone- 100 kilos is a LOT. If I am not mistaken, this now qualifies as the most valuble canadian coin- knocking off the 1911 dollar, valued at 1.2 million- with one silver example to be owned privately.
