I got the UHF joke!

Whoever buys a set of 10 to go along with their actual Velocity Yellow Z06 is guaranteed to win Pebble Beach in 50 years. Mark my words.

@dylanseals: My work here is done. :)

When I saw this ad the other day, the first thought I had was, "This makes those 9/11 coins with allegedly salvaged silver seem tasteful."

@Paul Y: Hey, it's not like these things each contain a bone chip from Zora Arkus-Duntov's body.
Tacky, yes. Tasteless, never.

Ha! PaulY, I thought the same thing. And what's even the point of making it non-legal-tender of another country? Does that make it somehow more collectable? Weren't there some that were 'legal tender in N. Marina Island" or something like that?

@squablow: i kinda wondered about that. apparently, even though palau has been independent from the us for over a decade, they still use the us dollar as their currency. though, i imagine itd be hard to actually use it as such, because this coin looks twice as wide as a normal dollar coin, so it prolly wont fit in a vending machine, which would probably reject it anyways. also, it obviously looks fake. but i imagine people say that about the current dollar coin...

i also like how they call the inclusion of the dates of the anniversary the coin commemorates a 'feature'.

The Royal Canadian Mint issued a 20$ collecter coin of the Bricklin SV-1 in 2003:

Yes sir, we sure know how to venerate our semi-laugable automotive heritage 'round here.
I still want one.
