By weight, and by relative size to an American coin. For example, is a dollar worth of gold, coined, bigger or smaller than a dime?
Little side story: I got my little brother (8) a hundred dollars in "gold" dollar coins for his birthday. I put it in a little treasure box and everything. Needless to say, he was stoked. Well fast forward to yesterday, he asked me if I can help him (s)melt the gold coins so he can make a gold bar with it. I told him its worth more as is, and he should just spend it on candy and games instead of hording it. (I didn't want to break it to him that theres no gold in dam coins.) Long story short, later that night my dad broke the news to him after catching him cooking coins with a skillet. Man did he felt betrayed by big brother. It was like looking at kid who just found out Santa isn't real.
afterwards he asked me alot of questions that I didn't have answers for, along with this one. So any help on the subject would be awesome thanks.
