How big is the largest gold bar and gold coin ever made? Read on-
In 2005 Mitsubishi Materials Corporation of Japan made the world's largest gold bar. See the following article for more information: http://search.japantimes.co.jp/cgi-bin/nb20050617a2.html
At 45.5 cm by 22.5 cm and standing 17 cm high, (about 18" x 9" x 7" high) it can be seen an touched at the Toi Gold Museum in Japan. More informationat: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toi_Gold_Museum
Although small enough to fit into the average gym bag, at 250 kilograms or 551 pounds you would probably walk with a list to one side if you carried it.
At $35,841.65 per kg the bar is worth $8,960,412.50
The largest gold coin was minted by the Royal Canadian Mint in 2007. The 99.999% pure gold coin weighs 100 kg (220 lb 7oz), and measures 50 cm (19.6 in) in diameter and is 3 cm (1.1 in) thick. For more details see http://en.wikinews.org/wiki/Royal_Canadian_Mint_unveils_world's_largest_gold_coin
At $35,841.65 per kg the coins bullion value is $3,584,100.65
