    This is equivalent to $790,000 in US dollars!

    This makes US dollars look somewhat worthless.

    Not exactly. You would never want to touch a collectible like that with your oily (human) hands. :)

    You would need a really big hand for that coin to fit in your palm... That thing weighs 220 pounds!

    That can't be right. Using estimated numbers for the price of gold in 2007 of $790 per ounce,

    790,000 dollars
    790. ÷ price per ounce
    --------------------------
    1,000 = ounces in in the coin

    16. ÷ ounces in a pound
    --------------------------
    62.5 = weight in pounds.


    That would still be more than I would care to tote. But it sure would look good on the mantle.


    edit: I read the article and now realize its current value is close to 3 mil. :)
