I remember when the gas stations gave coins away. I won a set of them in bronze many years ago.
My college lunch three days a week in 1973 was 2 BigMacs, large fry, and chocolate shake for $2.15 or so. Now you can't buy half a Big Mac for that.
Don't care about the coins, but interesting anyway.

My digital cameo album 1950-64 Cameos - take a look!
So I have to get a coin to run to the toilet? I thought that only happened in some parts of Europe.

I’d rather eat the coin

Fellas, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pockets you better use them to call a tailor. Stay thirsty my friends......
Oh god. "The '10s".
So they're not giving the coins out for free, you have to buy a murder burger to get a coin, then you have to buy a belly bomb to get the second one if you have a coin. All you need to do is give up your cholesterol levels, increase your salt intake and adjust your bowel movements. Peace Roy

I know where I'll be eating Thursday. McD's is my guilty pleasure
Maybe DCarr can restrike it into a Chuck E Cheese token.
Maybe it will get some kids interested in coins. Fat kids.
They'll fit right in.

A Big Mac is the worst value at McD. I never order one unless it is heavily discounted. I will try on August 2nd just for the coin.
You, Sir, have won the Internet!!!!
Well... I am not a McD's fan (though I sometimes grab the egg/sausage mcmuffin when in need of a fast breakfast)... However, for a coin, maybe I will grab a Big Mac... Since I am close to Woodstock, get one of the 70's Flower Power coins...Cheers, RickO
What's a meme??
Such negativity. I think it is fun and could be great for the hobby. Many so-called dollars were nothing but promotional gimmicks.
I may have to try and buy a complete set on eBay once they are out there.
I wish more business would use tokens for promotional gimmicks. So much more fun, and collectible, than paper coupons.
Dear McDonald's, please give us McMuffin Wooden Nickels next month!
would be great to get all 5. I usually just get the coke for a dollar and eat somewhere else, guess I will go for the mac to get a coin on Aug. 2nd
Does anyone know a McDonald's employee? Maybe they can slip us some.
They appear to be brass-colored plastic.
I'm going for one on Thursday.

Is there a HHL on the 1st day?
Hoard the keys.
I am going to guess that your stomach and digestive system will be setting the limit....
Maybe I will get the coin and the BigMac encased in lucite, get it embossed with Ronald McDonald’s signature and sell it at ANA!
Doesn't PCGS grade and encapsulate tokens? I can envision labels with the Hamburglar, Ronald, Grimace and Mayor McCheese.
Will we get an opportunity for First day certification by a major TPG ( hopefully PCGS but those guys across the Street might do). A variety of labels might be fun also - Hamburglar, Ronald, Gimace, Birdie, Capt Crooke , and anyone else even .
Will " Next time Dimes " start hopping and popping on ebay now?
I would not mind collecting these tokens. I guess I can start on the 2nd.
If they were 90% coin silver Mac Quarters they would be worth about $3. So why not do it right and say free silver quarter for 4 Big Macs or a $15 or greater purchase for example. I would actually buy food at McD's for the first time in the past 40 years.

The coins that don't have any greasy fingerprints all over them will command a premium some day.
I knew it would happen.
The 60's were the flower power age , the age of Aquarius. All the 70's gave us was disco.
i loved the days when a big mac had a thin white cardboard paper ring around it then wrapped in a silvery looking paper/foil wrapping, early 70's when a big mac was a big deal
Hopefully not for this guy.....25 Big Macs in 22 minutes.

I hope there is not a you tube video showing how much time he ended up spending in the bathroom! Gross!
Seeing all the pictured Big Macs has made me hungry ... but for a
Hey Mickey D was up over a dollar today with the market down 144.

Is this like the Bennie Baby special maybe a Bennie Baby trading cards!
I was thinking about cornering the market on these but haven't tried doing anything like that since trying to corner the "Silver Surfer" quarter market and I'm afraid my result would be the same.

I will look for any "error" pieces. Maybe some will slip out the "back door" where they are being "minted".
A little music to get in the mood - - Mac Sabbath - "Frying Pan"
It helps to know of the old ads in the 1970's. Also helps to have bad taste in food and music like me.

i heard that if you get a double struck one you'll get 2 macs free. thats what i heard
Nope. Not much on "coins" commem-ing junk food.
Should be better than last year's WhopperCoin. The MacCoin's mintage will be around 6.2 million. I can't help to see these as nothing more than tokens. I certainly wouldn't call it a coin, unless they made them out of silver!!!!!!!!
Hope this promotion goes better than the Monopoly one did:
