Sorry, but nothing beats my World Trade Center comemorative coin.



I get to knock the towers down again and again and again!

"nation's biggest tragedy"?

Only if you count things that have happened since 9/10/2001. And even then, the reaction and what we've done to ourselves as a result is a bigger tragedy.

/Pearl Harbor, the trail of tears, the Civil War laugh at your "biggest tragedy".

"Our nation's biggest tragedy"?

Suck it, Gettysburg.

Victims of the Triangle Trade laughs harder.

FTFM

This is why you don't copy the article's headline.

The "Historic Coin Mint"?

BurnShrike: FTFA: Turn Our National Tragedy into a Lasting Memory for only $19.95

I didn't RTFA, and based on the headline expected this to be a Nickelback CD box set.

DRTFA, but by the context it seems finally a Mel Sharples memorial coin.

I came so close to buying this as a gag gift for the Mrs. on Christmas... but I'm a bit nervous about giving a company like this any personal info, especially my credit card.

BurnShrike: Nickelback is a Canadian band

OK so at least they're a polite tragedy..

Forget this .. what's with basic cable double-downing on the Trojan Vibrator commercials? They were on EVERY break during JAWS on AMC

I'm no prude, but last year, SPIKE had one at 10am .. during STAR WARS .. on Christmas morning.

Triangle trade hates person man. They have a fight, triangle wins. Triangle trade.

Here's the commemorative song (new window)

Engraved with the national motto: Go shopping

It's not anywhere near $19.95.

It's $19.95 plus processing and handling

When you get the "free" SIlver coin you just pay separate processing and handling.

When you get the "free" Operation Geronimo Briefing Pack (which is obviously a few cards that can be mailed for first class postage) you just pay separate processing and handling.

I wouldn't put it past them to charge separate processing and handling for each of the two free acrylic coin cases.

Someone needs to check but I'll bet the processing and handling is like $6.99 per so it ends up costing $40.96 or more to your door.

It's worth all of $3.

That would look nice displayed next to my Lincoln-head salsa dish and my Pearl Harbor Commemorative dustpan

Oh. And it all comes in a single padded USPS first class envelope with $3 postage on it.

I checked it out. Just p&h for the whole package is over $30.

ummm no.

clearly you are not familiar with their lyrics.
no they are not.
let's just leave it at that...

I saw this commercial for the first time while watching South Park reruns last night on CC and I almost shat myself when I realized it wasn't one of Trey and Matt's little jokes.

BurnShrike: I thought America's biggest tragedy was losing the 2010 Olympic hockey in overtime?

Suck it America!

Huh. I thought it was when McDonalds discontinued the McDLT.

Pfft...BFD. Is it really any more ghoulish or tasteless than bidding on a celeb's rotten teeth or shiat-stained underwear on eBay?

The phrase "stunning relief" is burned into my brain thanks to the people who make these commemorative coins.

Hulk Hogan is secretly the man behind the coin company. Bastard is profiting from his evil deed.

Man On Fire: they're just trying to cash in on it. what could be more American than that?

And who better to show the rest of the world how crass consumerism should be done?

/USA...USA....!
