If we have enough money to piss away on some bullshit like that, then we should have more money to pay off our debt.

I imagine the janitors sweeping the floor that night were pretty happy

100kg works out to be well over $4 million these days. Can I still buy it for 1 million?

That is quite possibly one of the stupidest projects I've ever seen undertaken.

And then to stroke their own egos after accomplishing nothing of value - astonishing.

I was just gonna say "why the fuck would you put 'One million' on it when the value of gold fluctuates so much?"

Dumb, yo.

Oops. Quoted the wrong person above.

hehe, 100kg.....uhh...we win.

How the hell am I going to get that in the snack machine?

Also, for the money spent, you'd think they'd put a Canadian PM on it, and not the Queen, get off our money,

Only 18,000,000,000 of those would pay off the debt.

My thoughts exactly, miles from anywhere, you're dying of thirst and you find a vending machine and all you have is this damn thing.
I suppose you could always use it to bash the fucker open.

gonna sidetrack the debate for a bit and ask on a different note:

is the Royal Canadian Mint an actual mint where real spendable currency are produced? Or is this like some sort of privatized-like company designed to sell products of specialized minted coins?

Also, because I'm no expert on the matter, what about the US equiv on the above?

How much do the little coins go for?
I may want to buy one.
(I'll just scrape up some pocket change....)

Nothing of value?????
The medium itself is worth the value.
Not to mention the artistry and technology that went into it.
Further, it's an engineering achievement to be proud of, and a great piece of advertisement for the mint to gain international contracts.
One million is nothing to the industry that creates, and prints the worlds coins.
I'd say it's worth a lot!

The Royal Canadian Mint is a Canadian Crown Corporation, and operates under the legislative basis of the Royal Canadian Mint Act. As a Crown Corporation, it is 100% owned by the Government of Canada, which is its sole shareholder. It also serves the public’s interest while mandated to operate “in anticipation of profit”, meaning that it functions in a commercial manner and does not rely on taxpayer support to fund its operations.

The government department responsible for the Royal Canadian Mint is the Department of Finance. There are currently 10 members of the Mint’s Board of Directors, and 12 members on its Executive Team.[14] The Royal Canadian Mint has four lines of business: Bullion and Refinery Service, Canadian Circulation, Foreign Business, and Numismatics.

Sweet debate! Sweet coin! Sweet, kissable, oh so face fuckable lady in more detail than EVER. Why must they spend so little time inspecting that face, and so much time on the leaves??
