“The pinnacle of ingenuity and innovation”? Australia issues $1 million coin made with $55 million worth of gold

Perth Mint chief executive Ed Harbuz calls it “the pinnacle of ingenuity and innovation,” but this idea sounds crazy silly to me.

Australia’s Perth Mint had produced a $1 million (in Australian currency) coin made almost entirely of gold (99.99% to be exact.) The weight? A ton. This is a $1 million coin that’s made of a ton of gold. When you think for a minute how high gold is these days, logic starts to deconstruct.

They were still best friends (who did not confirm or deny that they were now in the practice of kissing in or out of hot tubs). But, were they being honest? Were they telling the truth about their relationship? I don’t think so.
