kurt Posted July 11, 2016 Report Share Posted July 11, 2016 Mind boggling. And, they did it with hand tools. 16 hour days, 6 days a week most likely. Amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leighton Jantz Posted July 11, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2016 Also toured the Royal Canadian Mint, no pictures allowed. According to tour guide we have the highest quality gold in the world, they are the only company allowed to stamp on coins 99.999% pure. Saw 19 coils of gold getting ready for the press at today's prices almost $450,000,000 per coil. Very cool to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
