Hey buddy, got change for a Megalooney?

[swestrup]

It seems that Canada has just minted a new 100Kg gold coin the size of an extra-large pizza, and with a $1,000,000 face value. (Its gold value is nearly double that.) I hereby dub it the Megalooney.

Hmmm, I think I've got some spare room on my fireplace mantle.

At least I'm proud and happy that Canada is well-known for making money (the non-criminal way, that is)!

Poor, regular-loonie hugs,

Nice to see our tax dollars hard at work!

Hey, if they're making a profit on these, then more power to them. On the other hand if they're making them for $2 Mil each and selling them for face value? Thats bad, m'kay, bad.
