Has anyone purchased this coin? Can someone guide me through the process?
I'm pretty sure you can only buy it in Ghana. The Ghana central bank is making them for sale for Ghana locals as a means to keep Ghana wealth in the country. I don't think they are being sold or exported outside the nation's borders.
