I bought my missus a car, it was the most amount of money I every spent on anybody. but I am really happy i did it. because now she cant ask to borrow mine.

Then, once a year, each and every year, say on her birthday, get her one of these.

In 10 years she will really have something.

Yeah 500 Canadian dollars.

Umm, the nominal value of the coin is $50 Canadian.

If you wanted to buy one coin it is more that what spot gold prices are. So a one oz. coin is going for $709.68 USD. Check here for their latest prices.

So I beg to differ, but in 10 years, she will have a considerable amount, especially if gold keeps going up.
