In March 2017, a gold coin “Maple Leaf” weighing 100 kilogram was stolen from the Berlin Museum of Bode. However, the police still can not determine what happened to the coin itself. At least this is not reported by the media.

Gold is a soft precious metal that can be melted at a temperature of 1063 degrees Celsius. Therefore, it can be assumed with a high probability that the coin was re-melted immediately after the abduction. For these purposes, it is enough to have a small melting furnace, which can be easily bought in a store or ordered online.

The gold coin of Canada could be poisoned abroad in the form of a cube with a diagonal length of 17.3 cm. Therefore, we must accept the fact that we no longer see this famous Canadian coin weighing 100 kilogram.

At current prices 100 kilogram  gold cost about 3.6 million euros. From this volume you can produce 10,000 gold wedding rings.
