Canada has a new coin that's sure to make waves: an intricately designed pure gold coin adorned with a piece of real coral. The coin has a face value of $200 and is made from 99.99 per cent pure gold, weighing 31.16 grams. And in the centre of this stunning design is a real red coral, a symbol of good luck and protection against evil spirits in Italian tradition. Don't quite feel like splurging on a $6,000 gold coin? The Mint also has a pure silver version of the same design for a much more wallet-friendly $149.
