    Doesn't matter how many were made. What matters is the survival rate and demand. I'm sure most were spent, lost, or tossed but there is sufficient numbers that survived to meet the demand. In any even, it's doubtful these will ever be worth more than a few bucks.

    I seem to remember some of these cents have a certain variety to them....die variety of some sort. Is this true?

    There was also a Cheerios dollar coin which is probably what you are thinking about. These are much scarcer than the Cheerios cent.

    Man did I eat alot of Cheerios in 2000. I have about 10 cheerio cents, never did score a dollar.
  • tmoneyeaglestmoneyeagles Posts: 442
    Well, not as rare as the sac cheerios dollar.
    They don't go for a whole lot, and I wouldn't really value the coin that high.
    Here are some examples of ones that have sold recently

    $1.50 was the LOWEST on eBay's completed items (less listing, final value, PayPap, & shipping probably about $0.50 Net value)

    Well of course, I mean, when people poured out their cereal, one of these popped out, and it was bound to happen, the coin hit the milk...

    I had one of mine certified in MS 66 RD. According to a certain high profile website it is given a 25 dollar value.

    What would be funny... Is if in a cheerios cent or dollar pack, the had accidentally packaged a cheerio in one of them image

    Cheerios, not "cherrios".

    Cherrios sound like they might be tasty, though. Cherry flavored?

    Maybe they could be cherry..

    I'd invent them, and give you half the credit image

    Cherry-Ohs. Sound sugary enough to appeal to my daughter.

    I don't think so, but I have learned never to say never.

    When the Cherios cents first came out, our stores didn't have any. I was buying them on eBay in the hope of finding a then unknown 2000 wide AM cent. No such luck. Then I got one in change at the supermarket where I first start looking for the new Cherios packages.
