Sort of scary:

"In spongebob we trust"

is written on the coins.

I'm not sure I would want my daughter chanting that!

$259, a bit pricey for four ounces of silver

These may be good in New Zealand but what about Bikini Bottom? :mrgreen:

:lol: I saw the ad on tv yesterday and checked them out. At $65/oz. I'll pass, even as much as I like SB. The 25th Anv. ASE sets were $60/oz and I don't SB's on ebay for $750 yet! ;)

The New Zealand Treasury must be hard press to keep their minting operation busy. If this is what the precious metals market has come down to, stick a fork in me. I'm done!
p.s.
When Spongebob first aired in 1999, my 9 year old daughter was hooked and to tell the truth so was I! ;)

Thirty years from now on the History Channel's Pawn Shop television show......" Spongebob was an extremely popular back in the early part of the century. I want those coins bad, but I have to get them for the right price." :lol:

100,000 mintage. No thanks at that price. You should be able to get them for much closer to spot later if you want them.
