Since the olimypics are over, they aren't making any more coins. You could maybe find one at the flea market, if you are lucky, but other then that, no.

I believe it’s the Austrian Thaler, with a diameter of 39.5 cm. It was used all over the world as a ‘trade dollar’, and was still in use in parts of the world, most notably Africa and the Middle East, after World War II. Today, it s a silver bullion ‘investment’ and collector coin.
The 1-ounce American Silver Eagle and Chinese Silver Panda are both slightly larger, but both are bullion coins and are not used as circulating coinage.
