It had to happen sooner or later.......
I have often stated that if you can think of a subject, it is probably represented on a Non-Circulating Legal Tender (NCLT) coin. The coin just issued by authority of the Government of the West African Republic of Benin is bound to confirm the veracity of that statement. As the first in a series of "Famous Plants of the World", the 100 Central African Franc denominated coin features Cannabis Sativa, colloquially known as Marijuana, Pot, Mary Jane, Weed, Grass, etc. An interesting feature of this PROOF coin, is that if you rub the green leaf (HORRORS), it emits the unmistakable aroma of marijuana
Also, if you look at the date, you can tell the mint engraver was really up on the subject of his art. With a limited mintage of 2,500 pieces, I'm guessing this will be an instant classic

Don't know yet, but I have a feeling that as soon as it hits the market the price will sky-rocket. As it stands right now, I have the only one in the US.

perhaps they were under the bleachers during that class, but I suppose there aren't many bleachers at school there though

Nacho-flavored, I hope.
This is so funny and gimmicky that it's cool:
"The coin is colorized with special green paint that smells like a real marihuana leaf"
The only unfortunate thing is that it is Silver Plated Cupronickel. 1 oz of silver would have been much much better.
are these coins sold individually, by the roll, or.... BY... THE...."BAG" ?
Sorry... couldn't pass that one up.....
