The Australians are selling their Kangaroos to anyone with $1,007 USD to plump up their treasury. In addition there is a small commission to the seller, maybe $25 USD. Anyone in the world can buy a kangaroo and legally possess one but best to keep them corralled.
No, not the furry ones but golden Kangaroos($100 AUD face) of 1 Troy Ounce of .9999 Gold. To my knowledge, this is the first time a gold coin has reached the $1000 USD marque. For a good deal American Buffaloes($50 USD face) are selling for $998 with same gold content. The Buffalo is a more ├йl├йgant coin with a noble Indian on the obverse in lieu of a noble Queen.
