But it's just a big sculpture, albeit in gold

Not a real coin in my view, unless you can go into a shop and spend it

Just think how many real coins you could buy with that sort of money

I assume you're being ironic az? The thing is ghastly in every respect except the gold content (what a waste of gold!). The portrait is particularly hideous. If that thing came into my possession it would be melted down for its gold in no time

It certainly is ugly. I assume the buyer bought it for its gold weight instead of it being a coin

Just imagine if you could,though.I can visualize the scene.

shopkeeper....."Haven't you got anything smaller ?" .

Packet of chewing gum please, do you have change of a million dollar coin?

I was about to buy it, but then I reliased that it is very heavy and postage would be quite expensive.

While it's very nice of someone getting their 3 year old to design a coin actually making it has to be the stupidest idea out. Surely this is the ugliest 'coin' in existence? Makes the Maklouf portrait look like the Mona Lisa.

Or do we need an Ugly Coin thread?

Totally agree. Ridiculous idea, and a waste of gold.

Gold is gold, however it is dressed up

Yes, but the crucial words are "take it"
