I don’t collect coins but maybe someone else would be interested in this. It’s definitely not something you are going to be finding in the change you get at the grocery store:
The coins were minted by the world renowned Royal Canadian Mint, which operates world-class refineries, as well as minting Canadian bullion coin products including the popular Canadian Maple Leaf gold and silver bullion coins (0.9999 pure or 24 karat).

Hm. At today’s price of gold, that is worth $4.05 million. Still, I think coins are more practical, and if you want bulk, kilo bars perhaps.
Too bad the John Galt coins are no longer made.
Didn’t Canadia just sell off all their gold reserves?
