NATIONAL COLLECTOR'S MINT COIN INCORPORATES LIGHT AND SOUND
While visiting my Mom in Pittsburgh last weekend I caught a commercial on television for one of the new products from the National Collector's Mint. You've got to hand it to private mints for advances in coining technology.
From the company's web site:
It's the 100th anniversary of the "Car that put the World
on Wheels!"
The most important car in history! And now -- for its centennial celebration -- we release the first ever pure silver clad 2008 Ford Model T Dollar. colorized in original Model T Red, with headlights that light up and the sound of the original Tin Lizzy Brass Bulb horn!
It.s a government authorized non-circulating legal tender tribute to America.s most famous car that still holds the all-time production record of 2.2 million vehicles in one year. Watch the headlights light up and listen to the sound of the original 1908 horn when you press the Ford logo on the reverse.

The "government" authorizing the "coin" is the Republic of
Pulau. Like my daughter's dolls that cry and wet their pants on command,
maybe the U.S. Mint will now issue quarters where Washington farts and
spits out his wooden dentures when you press the eagle on the reverse.
