Pertinax Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2133 Posts	Posted 09/23/2007 05:36 am Thanks to both of you. It sounds like a marketing gimmick, - though if it were intended to attract children to the hobby, perhaps it's not so bad. Will there be more coin-toy/animal hookups in the future ? Numismatics is a little different in the UK, I can't imagine this happening here, though as we seem eventually to import every US marketing idea, it'll probably come. Report this Post to the Staff

It was definitely a gimmick. These where highly promoted and sold by the TV shopping networks at high premiums. quote: Will there be more coin-toy/animal hookups in the future ? I'm sure we haven't seen the last of these. Report this Post to the Staff

I don't really think these were aimed towards children because I think most TY beanie baby collectors are middle aged women. These beanie baby's are about like coins where certain ones sell for allot of money and I just don't know of any kids that would be able to afford the most collectible ones (even though I think their popularity has dropped off a little in the past years) Report this Post to the Staff
garylcsr Pillar of the Community United States 1952 Posts	Posted 09/23/2007 4:43 pm it is exactly like spider said. if you want one just tune your tv set to the coin shoppers channel (i don't watch so I could have the name wrong) anyway you can still get them there for about $50.00 or more per bear lol. also littleton coins sells them too and there is another company that sells overpriced stuff to I think the name is ICC or something like that. good luck Gary Report this Post to the Staff
