We've seen a variety of "commerative" currency
of late. "Suzies" (got a roll of those), "Sacs",
now "Tubbies".
While few so far have been "unworthy" people, the
main reason they exist is PC-ness/Woke-ness. Did
you notice a lot of coins dedicated to "conservative/
patriotic" males lately hmm ? :-)
Now if you want "real money" - stick to the official
govt gold/platinum coins. The face value is much
less than the real value. Palladium coins are also
offered but fewer know what palladium is or how
fuckin' expensive.
Hey ... ! There IS a market for "specialty coins" !
The UK should issue "Ozzies" - an ounce of Osmium
with Ozzy's face. It's a very hard (rock) metal, so
it'd have to be laser-etched in a vacuum or in helium
or something instead of pressed. Slightly toxic too -
which is appropriate :-) Make exactly 13 of them
and start the bidding.
Now who deserves Iridium ? It's like $5000/oz and
almost unobtanium. Most came from meteors. It is
also very hard and would need laser-etching. But,
at $5000/oz ... who could resist ? But WHOSE
face ??? PLEASE don't say Taylor Swift !!!
