The Big Nickel is a nine-metre (30 ft) replica of a 1951 Canadian nickel, located at the grounds of the Dynamic Earth science museum in Greater Sudbury, Ontario, Canada, and is the world's largest depiction of a coin. The twelve-sided nickel is located on a small hill overlooking the intersection of Municipal Road 55 and Big Nickel Drive at the westernmost end of the Gatchell neighbourhood. The Big Nickel celebrated its 45th anniversary on July 22, 2009 with a "birthday party" on the grounds of Dynamic Earth (Ontario), including a display of coins from Science North's Inco Coin Collection. (en) Le Gros cinq sous (aussi appelé Gros cinq cents, et surnommé Gros Nickel ou Big Nickel d'après son nom anglais) est une réplique surdimensionnée d'une pièce de 5 ¢ canadienne. Devenue emblématique de Sudbury, en Ontario, cette pièce a été conçue à l'instigation de l'homme d'affaires (en) pour le Parc numismatique du centenaire canadien. Inauguré en 1964, le Gros cinq sous est une reproduction d'une pièce de 1951 qui commémore le bicentenaire de l'isolation du nickel, un minerai très présent à Sudbury. (fr) |
