If you remember the post that darryldarryl posted on 11/22/2014 about his Tim Horton "SPOCK BILL" he received,
( http://goccf.com/t/191116&SearchTerms=spock,bill )
well, a similar $5 "spock bill" has made headlines today & are calling for all to "Spock your $5 bills for Leonard Nimoy".

They say the'Spock' $5 Bill Is Legal, But It's Still 'Inappropriate'

Lol, at $48 cdn each that's better than a licence to print your own money, if the BOC gets wind of this they'll do a limited print replaceing Laurier.

Did you read the OP? Not illegal, but "inappropriate."

Think of it as this way... the buyer is paying for art, not numismatic quality. Hobo nickels and love tokens more or less fall into the same category. If it is not illegal, and you are a good artist, then I don't have a problem with this...

The artistry on that bill 'yuck' not worth 50 cents, whats with the bare spot on his head. What really gets me are the buyers paying that kind of money, a felt pen is $1.50 and most of us are also not such good artists.

Novelty not art.

If the actor hadn't just died, not even a trekker or trekkie would ever spend that much.

I hope.
