Give it back, Frau Merkel. You don't get to collect your severance package until after you lose an election.

There are several of them and it sounds like a good investment, as long as it doesn't get stolen. At the ROM there were lots of people looking at it and taking pictures, so a bit of a tourist draw?

The Canadian Mint made 5 of these coins to commemorate their starting to produce gold coins that were 99.999% pure gold. The previous standard being 99.99%
One of the coins was on loan to the museum in Berlin.

Not a challenge for 2 people to carry/roll out a door, Probably even doable for 1 fairly strong person.
Getting it up a ladder and out a window would be a bit more challenging.

I think Bowling would be a lot more fun with $4M coins.
Your aim had better be good.

I heard that one of the 5 coins was bought by a Saudi who made it into a coffee table (no joke).
