NOT A JOKE

The Candian Mint has just released a new coin, the $1,000,000.00 coin. But you're not likely to mistakenly use it in a vending machine.

For starters, it's made of 99.999% pure gold, weighs 100 Kg (220 lb), and 53cm(21 inches) in diameter.

And it does not work with magnetic fingers either.

Also, for our US friends, I just thought I'd mention, it does NOT have any kind of transmitting device built into it!

BTW..Since you mentioned the magnetic finger again..(I know you want one..don't you?)...

The Canadian Nickles (5 cent piece) minted in 1960 and 1978 are ferrous in composition..However, the 1985 Nickle is not.
