New Canadian Gold Rush

Canada Mints 200-Pound, Solid-Gold Coin

The Royal Canadian mint has released a new gold coin. It weighs 200 pounds and it’s 20 inches across and 1 inch thick. On hearing the news, buskers from around the globe started making a beeline for Canada. Even though only three of the coins have been sold as yet, optimistic buskers are hoping one of them lands in their hat as reward for a heartfelt version of Mr. Bojangles.
