Guinness Book of World Records named it the world's largest coin,

A manhole COVER isn’t a cylinder, well its a very thin one.

The manhole itself is a cylinder shaped hole.

It looks like a case for your Hot Wheels when you were a kid.

You give me a “Milooney”, and I’ll lug it across the Mojave if I have to!
