I haven't had a Big Mac in years. I really just go there for breakfast a few times/year. Too bad the coins weren't available in Canada otherwise I would have done what Mister Kairu did.

basebal21, it turns out you are correct. However, it is not as easy as walking into a restaurant and ordering a Big Mac.

From the following website:

In some countries you'll be able to get a coin by ordering a Big Mac. Here in Canada it's being done a little differently. There are 50,000 coins in total being made available here and you'll need to win a contest to get your hands on one.

From August 2nd to August 8th, McDonald's Canada will be running a contest on Twitter through their official account @McDonaldsCanada. Tweet why you love the Big Mac using the hashtag #BigMac50 and you may just score your very own MacCoin!

I got my coin today but it was missing a lot of detail. Then I figured being from McDonalds it had to be a Grease Filled Die.

Same here. I get an Egg McMuffin now and then.

Hmmm. The McMuffin turns 50 in 2022. Maybe we will get McMuffin tokens in four years?

I can easily eat five in one day.

The sausage egg mcmuffins are good, but I object to paying $1.50 for an egg. (I can get close to a dozen eggs for that) The sausage McMuffins are good too and they are $1, the sausage egg mcmuffin is $2.50. For $2 I can have two Sausage McMuffins have a more filling meal and still have 50 cents left over.

All day breakfast is the best decision McDonalds ever made since the invention of the egg McMuffin.

In other news ICG and NGC are grading the maccoins, not sure about PCGS

I went back today and got two more. Luckily, one of the two I needed. Unfortunately, they both were that coin. Tried to trade, but after a little staff help (not yet finding the last one) management came and blew me off. I need the 88-98, and have an extra 08-18. Anyone willing to trade?
