Two icons of world pop culture transform official coins and drive fans crazy

Harry Potter and the rock’n’roll band AC / DC are two icons of world pop culture. And both have earned the honor of turning into coins through the Royal Mint.

The Harry Potter coin will have a special series to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the release of the first book in the series.

Since everything in Potter’s world has magic, the coin also has its “magic”: they have an optical effect when rotated in light. The “magic” effect is also the way to authenticate the coins, which become collector’s items.

You can buy coins here priced at £ 20, equivalent to R $ 116 at this week’s exchange rate.

Australia launches the AC / DC 50th anniversary coin

The other coin that has rocked fans is that of the AC / DC band, which had the release to celebrate their 50th career anniversary. The coin was minted by the Royal Australian Mint, the government agency responsible for the circulation of coins on the Australian continent. The coin was minted with the classic image of guitarist Angus Young in his school uniform.

It is worth mentioning that this type of commemorative coin is sold as a collector’s item for enthusiasts, but is not put into circulation. It can be acquired here at a cost of US $ 90 (approximately R $ 463 at the daily exchange rate).
