    This proof $7 coin with Swarovski elements contains 7 oz. of spherical-shaped silver!

    "For the first time ever in the history of coins, a coin has been minted that is completely spherical! Issued by the Mint of Poland, this extraordinary design displays a seamless image of the world in the form of a small silver globe. Marked on the globe are the 7 Wonders of World, all located with a stunning Swarovski crystal."

    Err, how can a sphere be a coin? Call it a shpere, a marble, anything but a coin!

    Price: US $895.00 that works out to about $128 per oz.

    That's some pretty expensive silver, but I'm sure that someone out there will just have to have it.

    So for something to be a coin (by definition) it has to be government backed and made of metal right? shape means nothing.

    Does Niue therefore have it's own currency? I always thought they used NZD? :/
