Coca Cola Fans rejoice! Is it crazy if I like this?

So it seems that MCM and the nation of Fiji have teamed up with Coca Cola to produce the newest innovation in numismatics: a bottle cap coin!
The coin is 6 grams of silver (almost a full 1/5 oz) and quite official; plus it includes some snazzy packaging! Thoughts? Am I crazy if the thought - albeit brief - of purchasing one came up?

It's even legal tender!

And as of this posting 284 have sold (today) at $29.95 each!

Is this better than the 1964 Cook Islands Morgan?

Before Cascade comes along, I'll mention that Dan Carr has never created something like this!

 

I you like it, buy it. I collect what I like and could care less what others think.

 

I feel like this is getting into Fallout territory.

 

I actually just remembered that a similar coin was released recently. A beer cap coin that is issued using Palau came out in 2016:

So for those playing along: would you prefer the Coke cap, the Beer cap, or both?

 

Umm. Beer...especially good Bavarian beer.
Though when I do drink soda, albeit rarely, I drink Coke.

 

I like the coca cola cap.
Although, a Miller High Life cap would frost my cookies. It really is the champagne of beers.

 

But they have been making these since ancient times!!

Nothing really 'new' here in terms of design.

If the Coke cap came with a bottle of rum, I might consider it.

You must be a marketing guy or gal! That's a really good idea. Even if it came with one of those airline size bottles!

 

What if it was a rum cap and came with a bottle of coke?

 

I'm an ex-bartender. Nah! Those 2 oz. bottles aren't big enough.

Chris

 

That too,
or that Frito-Lay cap and a six pack.

 

That's too much to pay for rum. You can get a liter bottle for much less.

Chris

 

Whatever trips your trigger.

 

Now those are bottle caps I wouldn't mind digging up when I go metal detecting..

 

I'd vote for the Coke cap as there are plenty of Coke collectors to add to any value there might be...

 

Agreed. There's a lot of potential crossover appeal there

 

, bunch of drunk, rum heads on here. Me, I'm
