Massive $1M Gold Coin From Canadian Mint Stolen In Berlin

[quote]Berlin police say thieves broke into the German capital's Bode Museum and made off with a massive 100-kilogram gold coin issued by the Royal Canadian Mint that's worth millions. Dubbed the "Big Maple Leaf" and measuring three-centimetres thick with a diameter of 53 centimetres, the coin has a portrait of the Queen on one side and maple leaves on the other. It has a face value of $1 million, but by weight alone it would be worth approximately $4 million US at market prices. The museum, which has one of the largest coin collections in the world, said on its website that the coin has been on loan in its numismatic collection since 2010. It was first issued by the Royal Canadian Mint in May 2007 and was listed in the Guinness Book of Records for its purity: 99.999 per cent gold. Spokesman Stefen Petersen said thieves apparently entered through a window at about 3:30 a.m. local time on Monday, broke into a cabinet where the coin was kept, and escaped with it before police arrived. A ladder was found by nearby railway tracks. Royal Canadian Mint spokesman Alex Reeves said the stolen coin does not belong to the mint. After creating the original (which is in storage in Ottawa), the mint manufactured five more that were sold to interested private individuals. The owner of the stolen coin is unknown.[/quote] http://www.cbc.ca/news/entertainment/cdn-coin-berlin-stolen-1.4042325 Best I can offer is 80 american dollars or 20 swiss francos.

  • Why would the Canadian mint strike a coin actually worth 4x it's face value? They got rid of their pennies for that same reason.

      • Hello I’m Mike Lindell, inventor of the world’s most comfortable pillow: My Pillow. We all have the same problems sleeping at night: our pillows go flat. We end up folding our pillows over for support, using our arms, flip flopping all night long like a guppy; we wake up in the morning: we have sore necks, we have headaches, our arms are asleep, we feel like we need a nap in the afternoon even though we’ve slept 8 hours. Well with MY Patented Fill, wherever you move this Pillow, it will hold the exact position for you as an individual, and you will get the best night’s sleep of your life! It also stays cool: you don’t have to flip it to the cool side; it stays healthy for a full ten years and its warrantied not to go flat. AND you can throw it right in the washer and dryer just like your favorite blue jeans, and I personally guarantee its gonna to be the most comfortable pillow you will ever own…
