Giant coins are a numismatical and technological marvel. The art of gigantificating and enormizzizing things has been tremedously populair for ages but only in recent years has technological innovation made it possible to serriously gigantify all sorts of convetionally small things. One of the most active disiplines in making small stuff hugh are, of course, coin enlargements. In the past larger coins have been at most "slightly bigger then" and mainly "bigger when compaired to much smaller". Fortunatly years or research and training have made it possible to leap out of the realm of marginally bigger coin into the wonderous world of extremely overexedurated and enlarged coins.

Allthough not the largest coins, certainly a work of art when compaired to these 18th century handpistols.

The race to produce the biggest coin is a global one and one which is allways brimming with activity. Whilest writing this very sentence the community of gargantuan numismatics is eagerly awaiting the pressconference held by Gun producers Smith&Westen who have put there machining plants to good use and tried to produce a Coin the SIZE OF A GUN!.

Traditionally when one constructs a coin of ridiculas proportions it is constumairy to display the piece together with a, mostly, random object of near normal size to illustrate the enormity of the giant monotairy unit in question. As was the case with the ( almost )GUN sized coin produced by S&W, although the initial expectation where unfortunately not met, it's production is seen as one of the finest up to date.

Great great coins from history

here are some of the greatest achievements in humongous coin construction.

The coin as big as the rim of a bicycle

Whilst dollars are easy to inflate because of of there relative weakness this dollar is pretty big.

A bike builder from the netherlands got inspired by giant coinage and , after years of trial and error, produced a coin of massive proportians that he subsequently compaired with a bike. This coin truly is a thing of beauty, esspecially considering the coin is made up entirely out of secondhand bicicle parts.

The man who created a coin as big as a lizzard

Compairing big coins to poisonous lizards proofed dangerous and at least 3 numismaticians died in this endeavour.

In 1984 a native inhabitant of a small Indonesian archipelago gave up bushcraft and took up coin manufacturing. After mastering the art of coining stock versions of the momotairy units he became more adapt in ludicrously oversizing the coins he got. Amazingly he figured the techniques out all by himself without reverence or help from the developed world which was allready booming with coin inflating fever. After learning about this remarkable uncultured man who had managed to equal most and even surpas some of the great giant coin work from europe and the USA a team of numismaticians contacted the man for an estimate for the coin.

“ It is as big azza lizzard dragon ”

. As big as a dragon ? The numismatician where captivated with the idea of a coin that big, allthough the acctuall size of the dragon had., by default, be enormous. A spot in the big book of monstous numismatic marvels was reserved in the insanely large section for this primitive man and his dragonlizzard sized valuta. You can imagine the disapointment the numismaticians must have felt when they found out that the dragon mearly was a oversized lizzard called a komododragon and not a firebreathing beast from the times of king arthur. Non the less the coin itself was clearly of the "bigger then normal coins" variety and could still be included in the book. For reverence it was compaired to a real life komodo lizzard the size if a small boat at about the size of a baby dragon.

Compairing coins to large multicylinder engines

Engines are real masculin object to pitch against large coins. This coin is nearly the size of a hubcab that is the size of the inner rim of the rear tire from the car that this motor belonged to.

Hotrod builder and convicted tax fraudster Boyd cottington let his absurdly underpayed talented crew of builders fabricate this coin and compair it to a hotrod engine that came out on one of the boydsters that he used to slap old plates on to avoid roadtax. Since Boyd was not unknown with federaly punishable crimes he thought he'd had a stab at counter fitting money. He set his team a 15 minute deadline in which they had to produce a insanely big coin and instructed them to use it to pay for something with it and resieve it's weight in 100 dollar bills back. Fortunatly nobody fell for the scam and Coddington was fined the sum of a coin the size of the state of Alaska for his "intended act" or rot in jail. He currently rots. The Metalwork team from coddington got fired and the giant coin donated to the GCA for display in the museum.

Why not a pool table

Don't ask my why somebody felt the need to pitch a pooltable against coins, but here it is. Kind of pityfull isn't it.

And ofcourse there has to be the obligotairy fool who makes a mockery of the entire nobel endeavor of giant coin construction and inflation and goes right ahead and stacks a coin up agains something totally uncalled for. Take for example this fine piece of humiliating trash, this waste of time. Seriously creating the juxtaposition between giant coin and pooltable, has he/she no shame ? There should be a law for behaviour like this. Hundreds of people struggle and invest time and affort around the world to benifit the community or giant coin affiliates and thus make the world a little more beutifull and still some people have the nerve to postulate such an insult. The chamber isn't good enough for thugs like the ones who dares make this .

Controversy

Note the asian person. Asian folks are ,by default, smaller. This fact alone should have raized suspisions

A lot of noise has been made over the so called Biggest gold coin in the world which is claimed to be a gold Euro piece with the Reichtag on it. When exposing the picture to closer scrutiny you can easily see that it is , in fact, a hoax. Apart from gold being one of the easiest medals to use for giant coins at all. What you are looking at is a giant medal. Medals are much easier to produce when compaired to coins but the fraudulent trickery does not end there. Not only is the coin not a coin and made from pure gold, the men holding it are purpousfully produced miniature men who disort the picture to made the object seem larger.
