gxseries Posted July 19, 2007 Report Share Posted July 19, 2007 I found this pretty interesting - got this in my mail a few days ago: Not too sure if it's valid to leave the serial number as it is though And those who is curious what year the penny is, it's 1951. Yes, it's a genuine copper penny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

akdrv Posted July 19, 2007 Report Share Posted July 19, 2007 Using currency to advertise is certainly still alive.

The marketing company for some movie recently ran afoul of the Feds for pasting their adverts for the movie on quarters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottishmoney Posted July 19, 2007 Report Share Posted July 19, 2007 The one example I see here in the USA of using money in advertising is the United Nations Childrens Fund which sends out nickels in their ads. Several years ago a Christian charity was sending Brazilian money in their ads too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dprice Posted July 19, 2007 Report Share Posted July 19, 2007 Thats kool. I have a penny out of a box of Cheerios 2000p. I got a mint set back in 1977 out of a box of cerial. I dont remember what brand of cerial it was? All I have left is a shinny penny left in the sealed plastic. My older brother cut the dime, nickel, Quarter, and the Half dollar out. I wish I had the whole set in the plastic. I thought it was a cool way to get children to start collecting coins. They should keep doinf that. When I found the money sealed up in plastic I didnt know what it was(I thought it was cash back). My mom told me It was a mint set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vfox Posted July 20, 2007 Report Share Posted July 20, 2007 What is that restaurant with the big yellow arched M? There is a MickyD's in Lancaster that only has one arch by its sign, and the sign has coats of arms on it, lol. My guess it's a really old one. Years ago, back in the early 90's I think (late 80's maybe) Smacks (I think) had world coins in the cereal. (Btw, if anyone had the dollar from that box of cheerios, it's considered a prototype coins with different tail feathers on the eagle. It's worth quite a lot of money, so don't go spending it! ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
