BERLIN - Berlin police say thieves broke into the German capital's Bode Museum and made off with a massive 100-kilogramme gold coin worth millions.
Spokesman Stefen Petersen said thieves apparently entered through a window about 3.30am Monday, broke into a cabinet where the ''Big Maple Leaf'' coin was kept, and escaped with it before police arrived.
A ladder was found by nearby railway tracks.
The museum says the coin is in the Guinness Book of Records for its purity of 999.99/1000 gold. It has a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II on one side and maple leaves on the other.
