World’s biggest gold coin weighs a ton, costs $57 million

Are you kidding me? I can think of only one or two vending machines that would take a coin that big. Plus, if you used it to puchase as candy bar that cost perhaps 75 cents, think of all the change you'd have to carry around!

What's the purpose of flaunting a $57 million coin? As long as it is being used for someone's vain and absurd decoration, it is absolutely worthless!

Wait for Gold to PLUMMET BACK TO EARTH before buying !!!

This is a perfect example of why the world should rid its self of the monarchy, and other elite rich families. (not Buffet and Gates they're commoners not the elite rich.)

Nothing compares to gold...

I think it's pretty scary that very soon ONLY the very rich and the Government will have ALL THE GOLD & SILVER! Everyone is constantly being entised(sp?) with good money to sell their gold and silver NOW. And with the ecconomy the way it is (due to the Gov)...people are doing it just to make ends meet. It's also sparked the theft of anything that even LOOKS like gold. Don't leave any jewelry laying around or it'll be gone. Even if you don't normaly have visitors...homes are being robbed by otherwise "normal" teenagers. Everytime I turn around another item of mine is gone, as well as those I know!!

Are the "heads of government and the rich getting ready for 12/21/12 ?!? Those of us with nothing left will surely BE LEFT behind. I notice in the article that the coin is presented at the "OPENING of the ..... Heads of Government". But even If 2012 is not what it's all about .... look at how much a gold or silver coin is worth dated pre 1935. That's when Uncle Sam MADE EVERYONE turn in their gold and silver. I don't think they'd get away with MAKING us do anything now a days .... unless we dont KNOW they are and the money's good..... Just food for thought. Jane

man that thing weighs as much as my small car lol.

Gold will be standard for currency after the crash of the world's economies.

It would be a better deal than 57 million in the stock market.

Give me two of them.!!

to heavy to steal

S'cuse Me Australia? Ummm, can you guys loan me $57.34 million dollars please? I promise that I will pay you back with my next payday check .......... Seriously! (grin)

This will be the only currency when all other paper currencies fail.

How can I buy one?

I don't get it.

When you think about how gold has chemical properties that are excellent for making electronic devices, you cannot just walk by without thinking "what a waste..."

And this huge, unwieldy chunk of metal is good for what? (Besides a legion of armed guards and a building to house it in!]

Who gives a @#!%. Seriously!!!

And you wonder why libtards and starving Africans hate us?
