  I have 'em at home, but back in the mid 1950's,
  there were Coffee company's that issued their
  cans of coffee with an instant "25C coin Enclosed".
  
  
  One of the cans I have has a picture of a 1956 Quarter
  on it.
  
  There's been many such coin promotions over the decades.
  I'll have to shake my memory cells to try to remember some of them.

  I saw a picture from an old Time magazine once that had a lady shoveling (with a real shovel) a mound of Morgan and Peace dollars with an armed security guard looking on. Some kind of promotion that you entered to win 1, 2, or 5 minutes of shoveling Silver Dollars to see how many you could end up with.
  
  I'm not sure if this goes with what you mean, but thought it was neat and cruel at the same time.....poor Silver Dollars.
  
  
  Didn't Coke do that thing with the money coming out of the cans one time?

  Here are 2 that come to mind, thought they had to be purchased seperatly and were not included with the product.

  Back in the late 70's one of the cigarette companies offered "silver dollars" in a proofs-of-purchase swap. I mailed in the required proofs and received the "silver dollars" which, in reality, were clad Ikes.

  Sounds like a few phone calls and emails I've gotten too..."I have some silver dollars to sell..."
