About the coin, maybe, the fact that it is now actually listed in Guiness may be new. The fact that it is just a marketing gimmik and not a true circulation coin renders it as being only mildly interesting.

 

No offense Johnson, and welcome.

Some of the most expensive coins are gimmicks or other subversions, e.g. 1804 dollar, 1913 V nickel, etc. This coin is also a gimmick but people seem to like some gimmicks.
