BIG BANG THEORY'S FAKE NOBEL PRIZE MEDAL

Mel Wacks submitted this article on the prop Nobel Prize medal awarded in the final episode of the TV show The Big Bang Theory. Thanks! Mel, you deserve a medal! -Editor

Fake Nobel Prize Medal Presented to Dr. Amy Farrah Fowler and Sheldon Cooper on Final Episode of The Big Bang Theory

Amy and Sheldon accept Nobel Prize

Did you happen to notice that the Nobel Prize medal awarded to Dr. Amy Farrah Fowler and Dr. Sheldon Cooper on the final episode of The Big Bang Theory was not what a real Nobel Prize medal looks like? I would guess that there was a copyright problem that prevented the real medal from being pictured. The Big Bang Nobel Prize medal has an entirely different portrait of Alfred Nobel. His birth year is indicated as MDCCCXXXII instead of MDCCCXXXIII on the actual medal, and the year of his death is indicated as MDCCCXCIV rather than MDCCCXCVI on the genuine Nobel Prize medal.
