how do they control the actual weight of the coin? after all that shaving and polishing - is it still exactly 1ton?
also, wouldnt making a 1mil coin be like printing 1m dollars? ive always wondered what affect making legal tender coins would have on inflation. i suppose the coin wont be in circulation. but then, the gold is leased, will they melt it down when they want to get rid of it? (if they ever do)? isnt it illegal to destroy money?
yeah, lots of stupid questions lol
