Title: Now this is ultimate MULE
Post by: interest on February 24, 2013, 11:11:55 PM
Hungry Jacks have a new commercial on TV with a spinning penny called the hungry jacks penny pinching deal.
I have taken a photo off the telly of the penny that is spinning around.

 Maybe people at the ad agency thought we would not recognise the queen of Australia on the obverse of the 1962 penny,
So they use  I would guess a 2006 two cent coin,
You can see that the date has been altered from I would guess 2006 to
1962,  but it would have been easier just to delete date from obverse & fill that gap with background colour.
But now you have a coin?? with dates on obverse & reverse cool.
An unusual penny a definite mule?

Sure looks like it, you can see the tail were they removed the spot.
But what about the obverse?

I sent them an email here is their reply.

"Thank you so much “for the heads up” I  really appreciate this, I must say you are very observant indeed, not much I could do apart from “a free burger” again thank you. Imitation is the nicest form of flattery.

 

Kind Regards.
