Diversify, buy a little gold.
And no one asks, "Why?"
So, a coin denominated at $0.26 is actually worth about $3.00 and is being sold for $200. Gotta hand it to governments to build value!
In Theory, this seemed clever. But the execution seems Relatively silly.

Here is the article behind the photo. I wonder what he would think about his image on this small gold piece at $200?
“Oy vey! The joke’s on you!”
You can pound it out to the size of a manhole cover. The image may suffer somewhat, though.
You could sneeze, and blow a fortune all over the room.
Next they shall be putting engravings on a particle of gold dust.
I buy gold and silver bullion. This is just stupid. That said, I did buy a 1-gram maple leaf a few years ago. You pretty much need a magnifying glass to see any details on it. The Royal Mint (Britain) has been doing a series of “Queen’s Beasts” coins the past few years. The premium on them is a little higher than most stuff I buy, but I liked it, so have been getting them as they came out. This year will close out the set of 10. The Royal Mint wants way too much for their proof coins though.
Cute. I’d like the pseudo-bronze “challenge coin” sized version, though.
