#Goldmoneywashere! Big Nickel Sudbury, Canada

Here is my submission for the #goldmoneywashere contest.

I'm not near any of the really cool stuff that was suggested, but up here in the northern Ontario Canada. He have the big nickel. This massive coin replica to celebrate our mining heritage. It was planned to be a whole numismatic park but has since become a mining museum.

You can also see our other famous landmark in Sudbury, "The Superstack"
Here is an excerpt from Wikipedia about just how awesome it is.

The Inco Superstack in Sudbury, Ontario, with a height of 380 metres (1,250 ft), is the tallest chimney in Canada and the Western hemisphere, and the second tallest freestanding chimney in the world after the GRES-2 Power Station in Kazakhstan. It is also the second tallest freestanding structure of any type in Canada, behind the CN Tower but ahead of First Canadian Place. It is the 40th tallest freestanding structure in the world. The Superstack is located on top of the largest nickel smelting operation in the world at Inco's Copper Cliff processing facility in the city of Greater Sudbury.
