It would be pretty difficult to get all five, as you'd have to buy AT LEAST 5 Big Macs this Thursday (and hope you are given a different type each visit). They ARE interesting though, and I might pick some up in the future (2019) when they are worth nothing but sentimental value.

I figure I'll be able to get them the same way I've been filling my Chucky Cheese yearly set; by finding them in the 'spit bin' of Coinstars.

I might have been up for the challenge ten years ago. Not so much now.

I am not surprised they are already on ebay. For some reason, I don't trust that listing.

Make sure it's at least MAC-67.

Anyway, sounds like an interesting promotion. Might get a big mac just for the medal.

I wonder if they redistribute them once redeemed. We may have to collect a circulated set as well...

It seems not. By my reading of the news articles, they're only giving them out on the 2nd of August, and they cannot be redeemed until the 3rd of August.

McDonalds have, in the past and in certain locations, issued in-store tokens which were re-used and re-issued. Back in 1983 in Canada, they issued aluminium 50¢ "tokens", bilingual and fully compliant with Canadian coupon regulations, which they would give out again once someone "spent" one. I was living in Canada at the time and I distinctly recall watching the checkout operators giving out and accepting the tokens. I obtained two at the time and one of them (which I've subsequently sold) was scratched, scuffed and fingerprinted enough to easily qualify as "circulated".

And "Maccas" here in Australia aren't participating, either. I suspect the tokens may run afoul of the law in some countries, where strict anti-token laws are in place.
