I wish I could find a list of "participating restaurants."

So, the article said 6.2+ million MacCoins were minted and there are 14,000 participating locations within the U.S. I suspect there may be some distribution tweaking due to expected business, but that equates to 443+ MacCoins per location.

The giveaway starts at "lunch", which, for McDonald's, starts at 10:30 AM local time when Big Macs become available to order. I have about four McD's locations within reasonable driving distance of each other in one day, maybe five.

I do actually like the Big Mac.

Too bad I do not eat red meat. I would be tempted to collect them all the easy way.


Cats do! Meow is already rubbing the paws together, in anticipation of adding to the Cat hoard!

Got my 5, gave away 4 sandwiches. I was the first person to ask about them, so they let me pick through to get all 5 designs. :D

Well done!

I cut through the McD's parking lot to get to my lunch destination (secret shortcut). I was tempted to stop in real quick, but they looked covered up.

There are dates on the bottom of one side of the token. It's the opposite side as the side with the big '50', and you may have to play with token to see it around the paper inside.

I have three: 68-78, 78-88, and 98-08. I got two of the last one, but asked to trade it and got the second.
