A Million Dollars

The million dollar coin has been released from the canadian mint. That's right. A million dollars. I know the mint said in february they were planning to create it. So it's been made. The thing weighs 100 kilos, or roughly 220 pounds. That's where the irony comes into play: 220 pounds of gold bullion is valued at around 2 million dollars. Yup, the math is correct. The Canadian mint got jyped making a useless gigantic coin. Way to go Canada! How's the child poverty thing going? Who cares! We have a giant coin!
(By the way, if you look really close, it looks like there are a bunch of 9's. I suspect it's actually a $999,999 coin...maybe the last dollar went to taxes?)

That coin would add to quite the pirate collection of loot.
