Expensive Birdbath



Berlin police say thieves broke into the German capital's Bode Museum and made off with a massive 100-kilogram (221-pound) gold coin worth millions. The three-centimeter (1.18-inch) thick coin, with a diameter of 53 centimeters (20.9 inches), has a face value of $1 million. By weight alone, however, it would be worth almost $4.5 million at market prices.



Spokesman Stefen Petersen said thieves apparently entered through a window about 3:30 a.m. Monday, broke into a cabinet where the "Big Maple Leaf" coin was kept, and escaped with it before police arrived. A ladder was found by nearby railway tracks.



The museum says the coin is in the Guinness Book of Records for its purity of 999.99/1000 gold. It has a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II on one side and maple leaves on the other.



I have a new birdbath in our back yard.

Made at the Royal Canadian Mint. It is fabled for its legendary purity; probably on his way to China my now.

Probably very true, however, they will need to mix and blend it with other gold, anything that pure starts showing up they can trace it back. There is a silent 1920 tour of the Canadian Mint on you tube... check it out
