"The new 2012 Aussie $1 million coin is the world’s largest, heaviest and most valuable coin ever minted. And, yes, the Perth Mint in Australia ensures that this 2,200-pound, 99.99% pure-gold marvel – measuring 31 inches wide and nearly five inches thick – is official legal tender.
The gigantic coin took 18 months to craft and is about 10 times heavier than the previous record holder – a $1 million Canadian coin minted in 2007. And, while the mammoth Aussie coin has a denomination of AUS$1 million, its actual gold value is about $58 million at today’s gold price of $1,650 per ounce."
