Canadian mint is selling a new $300 face gold coin today with embedded crystals. Anyone think this one will be popular? Limited to 1000

    Got a pic? I'm not sure the embedded crystals will hold up well in circulation. image

    Strange looking coin, but maybe it will find a market. What are the crystals made of?

    Limited to 1000? Jeez, these guys are worse than the U.S. mint about encouraging speculation.

    I was interested until I saw the gold content, and the price $1500 plus.......

    I will stick with my $3 golden beaver.
