British Island Wants to Make Physical Bitcoins with UK Royal Mint Deal

They are made of gold so when the price collapses you can melt it down to recover some of the investment.
I find this not the least but ironic.
that article is weird, it says they wont have the private key on them.  So it's just a lump of gold with the bitcoin symbol on it?
