That's a great story. Too bad it was a few years ago and you don't have images and such - I'm sure it could be a published piece.

Your story lives on snowdogg70.

I have purchased a pile of these in my lifetime and have
never had anything but a plastic toy. Sorry.

Was there a COA included with the coin or tasty chocolate beauty box/presentation case?
SPP, NCLT spies are everywhere -

@scottk Kinder is German for children. As in kinder-garten being a children's garden or playground.

In English we refer to them as "Kinder eggs", but I was talking to a German friend lately, and he was pretty confused by the term. Kinder is a pretty big brand here, and they make several types of chocolates, so the eggs are called "Kinder Surprise (Ueberaschung)"
And alas, I have never come across that sort of surprise yet.

I was born in Ontario but my father was in the air force and we moved to Germany to a CDN air force base and area for a period of about 7 years. I was just a kid when I was there. Kinder Eggs were great, never a great prize, though, always plastic stuff.

I actually read a story a while ago about a person who was busted at the CDN/US border with Kinder Eggs. LOL

All I ever got was plastic junk. Steve I also was
born in Ontario and my father was stationed in
Germany, I don't remember the German kinder eggs,
but I don't think they consider it baby food.lol
