Fiji did a Coke Santa coin last year, 2017. It's going for like $50 on eBay. I may buy one after I get my eBay bux.

The world’s biggest gold coin, minted by the Perth Mint, an Australian third branch company that manufactures coins, measures 80 centimeters wide,13 centimeters deep and weighs 1, 012 kilograms. This magnificent coin is made from 99, 99 % of pure gold and has a legal tender value of $ 1 million AU.
It took 18 months to be made, but it was awarded with the title of the ‘largest coin’ by Guinness World Records committee.
The Australian Kangaroo One Tonne Gold Coin, with a portrait of the Queen Elizabeth II on the obverse, and the red kangaroo on the reverse, has a symbolic value, too. It represents Her Majesty’s recent visit to Australia, but at the same time, the most iconic figure of Australia, the kangaroo, represents national and cultural mark.

The first video was good but didn't give me the fix I wanted , I wanted to watch the gold pouring.
The second video was spot on , riveting watch , cheers Slave
Yeah, the second I found the 2nd vid, I knew the 1st one was crap.
It is a thing of beauty, seeing gold being poured in such quantities, isn't it?!

I love gold especially the smelting process , I try to watch all the gold mining reality shows. Even all the gold filings in that vid being shaved off in that box was great to watch.

This is the new, dodecagonal pound coin in the United Kingdom:
Which I'm damned annoyed has replaced the much better looking, perennial, round old pound coin which had been the format since British currency was decimalised in the early 1970s (which was itself a travesty, even though I wasn't alive to witness it):

Ten cents' worth of a quarter?

On a point of order, so to speak, decimalization was in 1971, but the Pound Coin only arrived in 1983. Until then we continued to use £1 notes.

I miss £1 notes when I have a pocket of pounds ( not very often
)

So, how would you like a pocketful of these? 1797 'Cartwheel' 2d coin, weighing 2 ounces (57 grams), which I think is around 7 times the weight of a £1 coin.

I'm convinced that all the holes I have in my trouser pockets are caused by coins ( not me playing with myself ).
In the 18th C I would have to use a fetching sporran , don't know why I'd be wearing a kilt but it just seemed appropriate.

Interestingly, a 1797 Twopenny piece (nominally less than 1p) would have a purchasing power well above that of a modern £1 coin, thanks to inflation. As far as the present day collectable value goes, I paid £95 for the coin illustrated, and I reckon that was a good deal, as it looks to be close to EF condition to me...
