Congrats!
However suddenly I'm hungry & wasn't till I opened this darn thread
I'm going after work.
See if you get one coin per Big Mac or one per order or one per visit.
I plan on miss-treating my gut till I get a full set. Planning my toilet time reading material well in advance.
Instead of milk spots, they may develop airborne grease deposits.
I got one for lunch about 10 minutes ago. They are kind of nice. They are also a bit of a throwback. Everything, including coupons, are digital now. It is reminiscent of the old retail tokens.
"First Day Issue" label?

From McD's website:
More than 6.2 million MacCoins will be distributed globally in more than 50 countries while supplies last.
MacCoin has no cash value and is only redeemable for one free Big Mac at participating McDonald’s restaurants through 2018.
Thanks for the alert @asheland
Thanks to Instagram I know where my coin collecting grand kids will be eating lunch today.

Well it's a fish sandwich for me today.
My wife's agreed to have a Big Mac for lunch!
My BST thread is gonna hit 1K lol

I was told only one per purchase. Not per sandwich. So I went to a second McD's to get a second mac.
Got a 1988-1998 and a 2008-2018.
Got mine!
Somebody tell these morons this is not a coin.
There I heppt.
A whole thread about hamburgers and no mention of mustard! Very disappointed coin folk!
Good for token I guess I'll go get one.
Hoard the keys.
Looks MS-65 has chatter around the bun.
I think that battle is long since lost. It is metal (thankfully), and it is exchangeable for something of value. Technically it is a "good for" token but who in the outside world knows that or cares. To them it is a "coin", and it may be the only such metal disk that a lot of Millennials ever see since many of them font sue cash or coins.
I thought about smearing a little special sauce on my shirt for kicks.
Also, I wonder if I have the rare reverse facing coin in the holder, or if it is a 50/50 chance? Can others report which way theirs faces?
Big Macs do not have mustard on them.
MS- meat something. Maybe.
There's supposed to be mustard in the secret sauce. Just sayin'...
Holder? You mean cellophane bag?
I have one obverse out, one reverse out. So probably random.
(I have no idea which side is the obverse and which side is the reverse, but it's one of each. And, it's a slow day for me, in case you haven't noticed...
)
It's not chatter. They use American cheese on Big Macs.
(Okay, I'm outta here...)
I hope you guys don't suffer from the McPoops later.
And that tells you all you need to know about my knowledge of most McDonald's food!! LOL!
I'm waiting for Ebay to get mine. In my younger days I ate at Micky D's a few times a week. Now a big Mac gives me a stomach ache.
i havent been by one yet. i will though
Will PCGS give them a First Strike designation?> @DrBuster said:
Originally it was called a "Big Mac Attack."

I didn't get this until I read it with a Boston accent
Pass.
I'll wait for the US Mint's gold and silver reverse proof editions.
I'll bet Tuvalu or the Marshall Islands beats them to it.
Now you're talkin'
Scratch and sniff Big Mac coin

I'm getting dcarr to overstrike mine for Five Guys.
I think it's great to get these in the hands of 6 million people. Even if a few are repeats that's still a lot of folks who may have never looked twice at a coin (or token) before. It may just get me to the nearest Mickey D's today!
The Whopper would be way better for that!

I'd like to see the token that is issued
by In'N'Out Burgers!
Buy one, keep the token, and give the burger to a homeless person!
What have you got against homeless people?

Ha ha ha!
How can flippers already have the five medal set on the first day?
Are they giving out all 5 varieties at the restaurants? I assumed they would just give out one version at a time and when those ran out begin to give out the 2nd variety, etc. (like they did with the NBA plastic cups in the 80's or early 90's)?

They have been on Ebay for days. How? Cheating. Some McD jobs could be at risk if they push the issue. Also theft charges. And receiving stolen property.
Remember the Monopoly game scandal? I seem to remember prison terms for those involved.
I only want one if it has a cac sticker
HAPPY COLLECTING
