Finally: The million-dollar coin

Officially, the gold kangaroo is legal tender, picturing a kangaroo on one side and Queen Elizabeth II on the other. Although its face value is $1 million Australian (US $1.07 million), it’s 99.99 percent pure gold, which makes its actual worth some about US $55 million at current gold prices.

The official Perth Mint, which created the coin, called it in a statement: ” the biggest, heaviest, inherently most valuable gold bullion coin in the world.”
