Good luck to Ginza Tanaka Corp., looking at global financial crisis and deep recession a head, wonder if people need a paper calendar even.

"the cost per calendar is 30 million yen"
Something is worth whatever someone is willing to pay for it.

Gold is selling for about $24 per gram right now. That means 6 kilos of gold is worth about $144,000. So, if you do the yen to dollar conversion, they're charging you about $306,000 for about $144,000 worth of gold (that's if the calendar is 24 karat). That's just plain stupid.

Or, $61 for a one-gram calendar that's worth $24.

I'd definitely buy this! Think about what it would cost in 3 years!
