So FOX Studios released $10,000 worth of quarters in a marketing blitz for the upcoming sequel to the hit film Fantastic 4, starring Jessica Alba.
The Silver Surfer, the main villain in the new film, was painted on the reverse of each quarter with the help of the Franklin Mint a company that specializes in making shit memorabilia such as coins.
People lucky enough to get a quarter could log onto the website on the coin for chances at prizes.
However, Fox and the Franklin Mint are obviously the only people left in the US who don’t know you can’t make you own money. Seriously, who the fuck doesn’t know this? Is there any country that allows you to redo their money as you may see fit? Fox and Franklin claimed ignorance on the situation.
However, all the headlines the illegal move has grabbed will probably end up being worth it in the end as the fine won’t be THAT huge and now Fox & Franklin Mint are getting all the free advertising they can handle from the story. Which probably means they did it intentionally and the fines should be raised on this sort of shit.
