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.

Its no more valueless than a large safe filled with $100
bills...well..humm...ah...err....eeep...lets change that to a large safe
filled with $61,424,000 worth of diamonds

Its just gonna be really hard to get change if you buy something.

And the value seems to be rising at a significant rate..unlike
diamonds....

One could not be a successful Leftwinger without realizing that,
in contrast to the popular conception supported by newspapers
and mothers of Leftwingers, a goodly number of Leftwingers are
not only narrow-minded and dull, but also just stupid.
