"US MINT NOT HAPPY WITH SILVER SURFER QUARTERS "

 

 

http://forum.newsarama.com/showthread.php?t=114490 :

 

"So – remember the promotion where The Franklin Mint and Fox were teaming up to put 40,000 quarters emblazoned with the Silver Surfer on one side, into circulation, claiming that the quarters would still be usable as legal tender.

 

Yeah – well, the US Mint doesn’t agree.

 

Last Friday, the Mint issued a release in which it said it had learned of the quarter, and the planned promotion, and advised the studio and The Franklin Mint that they were, in fact, breaking the law. As many Newsarama posters had pondered and posited, it’s illegal to turn US currency into an advertising vehicle. Violators can face a fine . . . "
