Someone Stole A Massive $1-Million Gold Coin

You'd think a 220-pound coin wouldn't be a criminal's first choice of a target, but it turns out the "Big Maple Leaf" coin that was stolen from the Bode museum in Berlin, Germany is worth a very pretty penny. 

According to local authorities, the coin is worth $1-million in Canadian dollars, or $700-thousand in the US, but could bring in almost $4.5-million at market prices. Considering its weight, it's believed more than one crook was involved.
