Fun Fact
The most expensive coin in the world was sold for more than $7 million.
The1933 Double Eagle was a $20 U.S. coin made of gold that never went into circulation.

After years circulating the globe and falling into the hands of a few notable owners—including the king of Egypt—one of the coins was auctioned off at So the by's in 2002 for a stunning $7,590,020. That made it the most expensive coin ever sold at auction.
