| $20 Canadian Coin
I had a buddy in the states email me today asking for a favor. Well it turn's out the Canadian mint came out with a $20 99.9% pure silver which is actually legal tender. http://www.mint.ca/store/product/pro...Id=prod1040001
For those collector's our their I thought you would be interested or in the coming months you get a $20 coin from the store it's not fake  |

It's cool, but I'd probably spend it on chips and a slurpee.

They've been making $20 silver coins for decades. Pretty much any gold / silver coin made by any government mint is legal tender and can technically be spent at the pub. And I'm not talking about melting down the coins either.
What that said, this one doesn't look half bad.

at it is likely that your order will be cancelled. they only minted 200,000.
And this has been on redflagdeals for awhile. so i'm sure they're at their limit.

This coin is meant for collectors.
Not something one would buy, and sell it 5 months down to road to get a profit.

who cares what the "value" of the coin is... this world turns based on our over valuation of goods.

Agreed. If you want a higher ROI by raw materials and manufacturing costs alone, buy pennies http://www.snopes.com/business/money/pennycost.asp | |

Just order a bunch, rack up points / cash back on your credit card. And then deposit the $20 back into the bank | |

I had mine shipped via XPresspost. I have no confidence in the post office - letter carrier is probably on crack (missing/stolen mail, delivered to wrong address, etc.). At least with Xpresspost, there's tracking.
My wife's replacement credit card is 3 weeks late in arriving. Another one was shipped, but has not arrived either.
