This is one of those things that seems kind of interesting to me. Here is a quote from a article I read today:
The mission is a private venture of California-based TransOrbital Inc., which is also drawing on corporate sponsorships and advertising to fund the effort.
After years of delay, launch is now slated for this fall, company President Dennis Laurie said in a telephone interview yesterday.
Individuals can book items for the flight at the company's web site, transorbital.net. Sending a business card to the Moon costs $2,500. Other relics or mementos can fly for $2,500 per gram. A text message costs $17.
So from the numbers above a Morgan dollar would cost $66,825 to be dropped on the moon.
let the fun and flames begin!

For $800 bucks you could drop your Morgan on my moon. Notice I said "on" not in.
