    I see lots of those coins at the Post Office. I would like one of those, but they are too darn expensive.

    I know it's pure silver and all but 160 bucks for a Canadian coin that happens to have Optimus prime's head on it seems a little... Loonie.

    Lmfao I almost thought about this. But then I thought about the scene in Rick and Morty S1 with Jerry being chastised by everyone around him for the quarters with the R2D2s where the George Washingtons should be.

    Really starting to consider escaping to the one place that hasn't been corrupted by capitalism.

    I picked up one of each. They’re expensive for sure but I thought they looked cool and it’s neat to have an unusual Transformers collectible. If they put OP on a stamp, I’d probably buy a few books of those, too LOL

    These price increases on Transformers are getting out of hand

    Stamps would be great. Especially if they were in canon stamps. Like wartime secret postal service vibes.

    Neat. Would like to have one to display with my military coins but the prices seem a bit out there.

    Also, this being Canada, I figured the go-to coin mascot would've been Wolverine. :D
