http://www.blackmountaincoins.com/p...D_00236.htmlA darkside bullion coin and perpetual calendar... Who'd a thunk it?  I'm sure with a little looking around, other vendors exist. The original link to govtmint.com apparently doesn't allow click through properly.... Edited by JMerrick 01/24/2011 1:45 pm

Your link is too generic, JM, it doesn't show me the coin you refer to ...

Seriously, though, they do have "coins" that talk or play music. Here's "Mongolian" 500 tugrik which recites a part of JFK's speech. In German! Edit: all you need is push a button. I wonder how one'd replace a battery!

Personally, I think it's kinda creepy to have a coin with a voice that says "I am a jelly donut!"

Here are more useful "coins". One could use these as manipulatives in a preschool Math class!

Yeah, I'd get one just to send it to a TPG for slabbing!  . The cylinder looks cleaned - someone polished the top.

I wonder if the one on the far left comes with a COA that Madonna wore it as a stage prop in the late '80's?

Nope, sorry, wrong size!

Issued in 2008 from the Somali Republic. I think it had to do with " the year of math" or something like that. Definitely different.
