Silver Surfer Worth 25 Cents

Posted by: on May 25, 2007 at 11:51 pm

Twentieth Century Fox and the Franklin Mint are joining forces to create an original limited collector’s edition “Silver Surfer” U.S. quarter to co-incide with the opening of Fox’s Fantastic Four 2: Rise of the Silver Surfer film. Emblazoned with the image of the legendary Marvel Comics character, this legal tender coin is a 2005 California statehood commemorative quarter minted by the United States Mint and specially color-enhanced by The Franklin Mint for Twentieth Century Fox.

SNAKE: Hold the phone — they’re selling ad space on our money now? How friggin’ expensive is dis’ Iraq thing anyway?!

LOU: I voted for Nader. Twice.

BOMB QUEEN: Printing money is always good, luv. I should mint something for myself? Make it like those grocery rewards and get 20% off using Bomb Queen currency. Hell, it beats the U.S. dollar getting it’s ass packed by the Euro and the Yen. But Silver-no-burrito-Surfer? Screw that, if you’re gonna have naked men on coins then show the goods, hon. I want some hard metal, not softcore coins. Unlike the Mary Jane-ophobics I’m all for exploitation.

ROB REILLY: Isn’t it bad enough that comic book fans will be wasting time and money to see this POS? Do we really need another excuse to waste money and time on this franchise?
