THE SPIRIT OF HAIDA GWAII 10-KILO 99.999% PURE GOLD COIN


The Spirit of Haida Gwaii pure gold coin is the world's first 10-kilo gold coin of 99.999% purity. Its $100,000 face value makes it the world's highest denomination 10-kilo gold coin and highest denomination non-circulation numismatic coin. It is the second-highest denomination coin ever produced by the Royal Canadian Mint, which produced a 100-kg gold bullion coin of 99.999% purity at $1,000,000 face value in 2007

So you crazy Canuks minted a 10 kilogram coin?

Isn't that heavy.

That's weird, I don't see the Ranger or GT-12 anywhere on there.

I think this belongs in the winter preparedness thread where everyone is arguing about the best weight to throw in the bed...

yup.between the coin and the four man armed guard,you'd get pretty good traction.if you did get stuck,they could get out and push.

 

[CHKNFKR]

You forgot about the safe, the ammo, the big gun up top, the armor vests, armor plating inside the body panels, 2" thick balistic glass...

If that doesn't provide enough traction and the guards can't provide enough push, perhaps the m1a2 escorting you around could do a little pushing/pulling
