‘Oceans Eleven’ Style Tobbery of World’s 2nd Largest Gold Coin from Berlin Museum

Description

This is Berlin's Bode Museum, one of the most prestigious museums in the German capital, and it was the site of a baffling, 'Ocean's Eleven' style heist which took place in the wee hours of Monday morning. Two thieves broke in to the museum at 3:30 AM and stole the world's second biggest gold coin, which weighs a whopping 220 pounds. The special print coin, which is called the "Big Maple Leaf" and was minted in Canada, is featured in the Guinness Book of World Records because it has a gold standard of 999.99/1000. Only five of these coins exist, each with a current gold value of over $4 million.

German police were in search of the 18th-century jewels taken a year ago from the Green Vault museum in Dresden. Newser reports three German men in their 20s with links to organized crime were arrested. But, alas, the stolen art treasures failed to be found.
