mordorbund Posted November 17, 2010 Report Share Posted November 17, 2010 Besides being "collectible", the million dollar coin is being sold for more than that because the raw materials alone are worth more than the face value of the coin. Did somebody forget to think that through?Even though the big coin has a face value of $1 million, it won't sell for that. At current prices, the coin's 3,215 troy ounces of gold are worth well over $2 million. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TL10 Posted November 21, 2010 Report Share Posted November 21, 2010 Here's the problem though. Will we (Me and my fellow Canadians) be able to transport it to Russia and bury it under center ice for the Olympics? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
