I don't see anything wrong with it, it's going to be a showpiece, no worse than the one million gold one dollar coins that used to be centerpiece of the Melbourne Casino.

wouldn't the money/value/worth be better spent on something else? just saying, wow you have a 53 million dollar piece of gold, in the shape of a really large coin that is supposed to be worth a million. i don't know much about the economics of australia right now by any means, this just reminds of the type of people that would spend $30 on bottled water because they can or buy a $1000 iphone app just so they can brag that they can
