Default One Tonne Gold Coin

With the recent ton vs tonne debate, here it is: the ultimate gold
coin. 1000Kg of 99.99% pure gold.

1000Kg = 2200 lbs.
2200 lbs. x 16 oz./lb. = 35,200 oz.
Gold is currently $1745 US per oz.
Coin is worth $61,424,000 US

I am sure, since this coin is so large, it is for all practical uses
valueless. So if you Aussie guys are looking to get rid of this
albatross, you may feel free to drop ship it to my house.
