R2 gold coin to be struck
August 12, 2008 Edition 1 

The Vredefort Dome World Heritage Site will be struck on a R2 gold commemorative
coin, the South African Mint said yesterday. 

This would take place on a koppie in the dome during the opening of the
International Large Meteorite Impacts and Planetary Evolution IV Conference on
August 17.

A spokesman for the Mint, Sandy de Kock, said the Vredefort Dome coin formed
part of the Mint's World Heritage Site Series of coins. 

A huge meteorite is believed to have slammed into the earth close to where
Vredefort now lies about 2020 million years ago. The event will be attended by
delegates from around the world. - Sapa
