Not even Kotaku.com has a article on this. If you have been liven under a rock with no T.V and No internet then you probably didn't know that there is a movie coming out soon called Fantastic 4 Rise of the Silver Surfer coming soon to theaters, but I am not here to talk about the movie but a promotion they have done for the movie. Somehow Fox and someone in the U.S mint Printed 40,000 United states quarters with the image of the Silver Surfer. It is legit money people not fake nor is it a fan boy's prank at which I thought when I got one of these rare quarters.

    However the U.S mint is calling this act defacing the U.S quarter which can be fined by law and the U.S government did not give any sort of ok for fox to U.S the quarter as an advertisement ploy. It even says on their website.

    The U.S. Mint, however, issued a statement deeming this defaceing (literally!) of the quarter as breaking the law. Apprently, under United States law it is illegal to use a coin as an advertising vehicle. Violators could face a fine. "Quote fox news"

    Now only 40,000 of these quarters were made and in Washington were I live only 800 were put into circulation here. They are going for $155.00 to $50.00 on Ebay and have two types of collectors, the comic book fans because it has something to do with marvel and the coin collectors because it's the first time in history the U.S quarter was used as a promotional object. I wonder how California feels about the Silver Surfer being printed over their state quarter heh.
