    I'll have to look around, not sure I have a bull but I'll look! As far as Star Trek goes, think I have something for that! :D

    They must have made a ton of those knockoff Man-Faced Bulls. On at least two occasions, I've found them in bulk World coin lots.

    I don't doubt the authenticity of my only man-faced bull, but its condition leaves a lot (!) to be desired.
