Today's Ottawa Citizen has a front-page article entitled "Barrick backs gold plan to mint millennium coin". Sorry I can't download it, but the first three paragraphs read: (P) Canada's Barrick Gold is leading the charge to mint and sell millions of millennium gold coin souvenirs and lift the gold business out of its doldrums. (P) The plan is being drawn up by the world's largest gold companies and co-ordinated from the London headquarters of Swiss Bank Corporation. (P) They hope to have a joint venture promotion company in place by the end of June. [The article goes on to mention that Peter Munk of Barrick Gold and Anglo-American Corporation of South Africa are the "prime movers" behind the scheme, which will be backed by a $150-million U.S. marketing campaign rivalling that of De Beers' "A Diamond Is Forever".]
