Awesomeness! Why can´t all coins have glowing dinos instead of ugly old people?

Novel idea. I wonder how long the ability to glow in the dark will last when the coins are in pockets, tills and such.

The only downside is that with a $30 price tag these won’t be going into regular circulation, though they can be used as legal tender at their 25c face value.

Buy coin for $30.
Use to buy 25c worth of gum.
????
PROFIT!
