Canadian Mint Introduces Wheel-Sized Pure Gold Coin (Update3)
By Alexandre Deslongchamps
May 3 (Bloomberg) -- The Royal Canadian Mint today unveiled a gold coin that's as big as a car wheel and as thick as a hardcover novel, in a bid to help win business lost to global competitors.
The 100-kilogram (220-pound) coin, which is 99.999 percent pure gold, the largest and purest piece ever made, was shown to reporters for the first time today at the mint in Ottawa. While each coin has a face value of C$1 million ($900,000), the purity and quantity of the bullion gold they're made of makes them worth more than twice as much, based on current prices.
