Wow, that is huge! I wonder if a store would accept that as a form of payment.

it is a legal coin.
It was made by the RCM. (Royal Canadaian Mint)
It would be classified more as NCLT. (non circulating Legal Tender)

That's right, I think the article said it had a face value of around 960K or something like that.
