they must really need some publicity to sell more gold before the price crashes?

Quote:
It is Australian legal tender and has a denomination of $1 million - well below its gold value.

Perth Mint chief executive Ed Harbuz said the coin was ''the pinnacle of ingenuity and innovation''.


Seeing as the whole idea of minting coins is that the face value is higher than the cost of making it, I guess that you COULD say that.
