Canada introduces world’s heaviest coin

? Got change for a million? Canada does: the world’s biggest pure gold coin at 220 pounds.

Already, three buyers have shelled out for one of the 1 million Canadian dollar coins introduced last week.

The Royal Canadian mint made the coins – 20 inches in diameter and 1 inch thick – mostly to seize the bragging rights from Austria, which had the record with a 70-pound, 15-inch wide coin.

It takes about six weeks to make and has a face value of 1 million Canadian dollars ($903,628), though it sells for approximately $2.7 million depending on the market value of gold.
