    My McCoin has some kind of double die
    I believe it's a DDR.
    I'm gonna start an alt account and take a pic with my drone so I can post it for y'all to tell me what I got

    1). Your token is not eligible for review here, unless is was found in a parking lot, already run over by an automobile a least once or twice;
    2). Whatever you are told, especially by eminent experts, you simply must NOT believe it;
    3). Post lots of out-of-focus photographs!

    You forgot an important one.

    4). Post each image at least 3 times within the same post.

    JTLee you are The Man!

    I just noticed - is that a Donald Trump thumbs up sign at the top of that token? :o

    Air Force One and the White House are probably littered with these.

    Collect what you want to collect, I personally dont care for coins that have been circulated but thats my preference, i'm not gonna hate on someone who does. The hobby doesnt go by a strict standard of what you can or cannot collect.

    Getting back to the thread itself, I now have 13 or 14 of these tokens, if you dont like it, sue me.

    I have no beef with your collecting.

    But do you curry favor by having no beef?

    Not after I ate oh, eight of the burgers.

    Some people do seem to have an issue, I ate more big macs in the last 3 days than in about 5 years, consider myself closer to death but in satisfaction

    There are now 8 separate threads about the Mc Coin

    I wonder what the US Mint is thinking about these?

    I'm guessing silver and gold enhanced reverse proofs with a privy mark...M.

    And the beat goes on..... I think I will go to MacDonalds and just hang around to see if some customers are throwing them away or - maybe - giving them away... Maybe outside with a sign... Will smile for McCoins... :D:D Nah, just not really that interested. Cheers, RickO

    Yeah, I'm done with Big Macs for the next 50 years until the next Mac coin token promotion.

    Quarter Pounders though. Turns 50 in 2021. I'm all in for those. :D

    (Edit: I forgot to cross out coin... :) )

    Just a quick thought.....are more people collecting these than Franklin Mint products?

    BTW, who minted these? I see the packages say "COIN Minted in USA" which I'm happy to see...

  • ParadisefoundParadisefound Posts: 8,588 ✭✭✭✭✭

    I don't hate nor resist.....JUST L <3 VE my Friends !
    My brother is a soccer coach taking the kid to McD often so many tokens are heading to Hawaii for the needy ;)

    I myself haven't gone to the join as yet....I do like their Chicken McNuggets tho B)

  • kevinstangkevinstang Posts: 1,521 ✭✭✭

    I've checked all my local Mcdonalds and none of them have the tokens! Where/how are you guys still getting them? I was willing to take the risk of eating a big mac for the first time in probably 25 years too!

    Your arteries will one day thank the franchisee for the out of stock.

    I wonder if all those dots represent polyps in a digestive tract from eating too much junk food.

    No offense to anyone who likes this slabbed thing, but in my opinion that is one ugly whatever it's called.

  • DCWDCW Posts: 7,604 ✭✭✭✭✭

    This is a fad that I'm sure we'll all laugh about some day.

    Damn thing looks naked without bacon and French fries and a basted egg dripping lard from the top.

    I ate at a Taco Bell yesterday. (Because, busy, convenience and proximity.)

    Treated my digestive system much better than a Big Mac.

    Now, that's sayin' sumthin. :D

  • topstuftopstuf Posts: 14,803 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Taco Bell is one I quit a long time ago after figuring out that every menu item was the same stuff shaped differently.

    Arbys was the worst, but the new commercials make it look worth a .....try.

    Well - I had to find out what all the hoopla was about so off to the local McDonalds I went. I walked in and asked for a token and the girl at the counter just smiled and handed me one without having to purchase the BM. She asked if what I wanted anything and I said that was it. She had a pile of them next to the register and I noted that half were already open and perhaps used. Mine was still in the cellophane. Maybe I'll go back and ask for another today...I couldn't stomach the burger but I do like their shakes! If you haven't seen the movies Super Size Me and The Founder I would recommend them.
