Actually if you took the coin and melted it down and sold the gold you would get about 2,443,854.91CAD for it as you need to convert 100kg into oz and then USD into CAD. 100kg = 3,215.074oz, gold is selling for $686.90/oz, and 686.90USD = 760.124CAD. I am guessing that they are going to sell it for at least 3mill CAD. BTW I actually have been to the RCM in Ottawa in '98. I am also a coin collecter and have somewhere around $500 in coins.

I am not in Rolla so I am OK. Plus all of my stuff is locked up in fire resistant safes.

plus, no loss if it goes missing. he stole it from someone that mentioned it on a forum about 3 years ago.

why would they do that
"Because we can."
lol, that's as good enough reason to do anything!
Hee hee. But seriously, it's an awesome reason realistically. It's an impeccable production sample--"proving" that we can do this task is crazy amazing. It's like building amazing rediculously-expensive bikes to prove you're the best motorcycle chop shop around. It's a way to gain a lot of business.
