    I would much rather invest in gold and carve an optimus into that. At least that shit keeps it’s worth!

    From googling, a normal 1oz Canadian silver coin is around US$30? This is quite some markup at 160CAD$.

    Brings a new meaning toThis is literally "no matter the cost".

    It’s 50:50 decision for me. Might have to flip a coin.

    Only to find out it’s available to US & Canada.

    I know you are being facetious, but nobody involved with the creation or depiction of Wolverine is Canadian.

    This is a celebration of Peter Cullen through the character of Optimus Prime.

    Wolverine the character is Canadian though, which was the joke I was trying to make.

    I had to look up Peter Cullen's nationality and you're right. He is indeed Canadian. I was previously aware that his brother, Larry Cullen, was a retired Captain in the U.S Marine Corps and helped inspire the voice of Optimus Prime. By extension, I just assumed Peter was from the U.S.

    I learned something new about Mr. Cullen!

    Wait a few more years and they'll retcon him yet again to being ancient Roman or something.

    ...I must admit I had no idea Mr. Cullen was from Montreal. I feel like I need to say “sorry” and atone ;)

    I'm a sucker for Optimus, things that are shiny, and things that glow in the dark. This was a triple whammy, ordered on sight.

    If this was a g1 cartoon plot, then if it’s season 3, Galvatron would want his face on german currency
    because he’s nuts and would be like ah yes they did two world wars!, they would be perfect for my new galvabucks
