We can easily wrap our minds around the hobby of coin collection — after all, coins are pretty awesome, and at the end of the day, you’re really just spending money on money, making it a relatively low-cost endeavor. However, DC Direct’s recently pressed World of Warcraft-themed currency — which comes in a set of one bronze, silver and gold coin, each featuring a faction leader and major city from the MMO on both sides — is a bit beyond our understanding.
According to G4, these three coins were on sale at Comic-Con for $69.99, though their real-life spendability is negligible at best. Heck, even if you wanted to use them to purchase your Artisan Riding skill and mount, you’d have to shell out well over $350,000 in order to do so. Then again, those things … aren’t real. But these coins are! And, as we’ve said, coins are awesome. We’re so conflicted!
