Silver Surfer Coins Illegal

Fox Studios had a great idea to promote the new Fantastic Four movie. They created Silver Surfer coins. The front looks like a quarter, but the back has the Surfer along with the url to the movie. However, what they didn't know is that "It is a federal crime to turn any form of legal tender into a form of advertising, and violators can face a fine."

The coins were distrubuted at a measly 800 per state. With the small amount of coins released plus the controversy, these coins will be on eBay going for a mint. (har har)

In vaguely related news, Jessica Alba's non-matching eyebrows disturb me. Also, why the ultra blue contact lenses? She looked fine in the first FF movie.
