    A rare coin that is the biggest in the world, according to the Guinness Book of Records, will be on auction in Vienna at the end of June.
    Made by the Royal Canadian Mint, it measures just over half a metre wide, and weighs 100 kilograms.
    Tasmin Lucia Khan reports.

    Just imagine buying a big mac with one of these. :pac:

    You wouldn't put this one in the piggy bank! ;)

    I'd say you'd be able to buy big Mack's shop if you had that coin?
    Not in the piggy or the other Banks either?

    I've heard that if you dropped that coin off the top of a skyscraper and it landed on someones head below it could actually kill them! True story.
