>Berlin police say thieves broke into the German capital's Bode Museum and made off with a massive 100-kilogram gold coin issued by the Royal Canadian Mint that's worth millions.
>Dubbed the "Big Maple Leaf" and measuring three-centimetres thick with a diameter of 53 centimetres, the coin has a portrait of the Queen on one side and maple leaves on the other.
>It has a face value of $1 million, but by weight alone it would be worth approximately $4 million US at market prices.
Can you get your shit together Germany? For fuck sakes.
It has probably already been broken into chunks and tossed in a furnace...

Too smart of a heist for the "refugees" to have done it
Oh well, that's a good one

>$1 million Canadian dollars So that's what, $3 US?

Yep. This. That much gold ... you'll never safely sell that in piece to a collector, but $4 mil in little 100 g ingots will keep you comfy for the remainder of your life.
Only caveat I see here is if a collector arranged the heist so he can rub his boner on it for the next 5 or 6 decades. Probably could never show it to more than 4 people for the rest of your life ... he'd just have the satisfaction of knowing he possessed it in hiding.

Why do they got our medium sized looney boys

checked Since gold is better than cash, it seems to me you can't arrange a heist for $4 million in gold and pay them any less than $4 million plus expenses.

>Since gold is better than cash Go try and buy some food with gold right now
> it seems to me you can't arrange a heist for $4 million in gold and pay them any less than $4 million plus expenses Nah you pay 'em $2mill and they don't gotta worry about getting rid of it, that gold is hot, hard to sell unless or Melt that shit, recast it into smaller ingots, that big loonie is long gone
Ryan Wood
>Go try and buy some food with gold right now Are you for real? Takes you 5 minutes to get to one of the businesses that buy it and complete the sale.
Zachary Garcia
don't pieces like these have special mixtures that identify the "origin" so it's MUCH harder to sell?
