The listing, 1979 Finland 1 Penni coin- Super Golden Crisp cereal promo has ended.

A 1979 Finland 1 Penni- Super Golden Crisp cereal promo. In January 1989, Post's Super Golden Crisp brand cereal offered a promotion of a free foreign coin in every box. The collection comprised six coins, one each from Korea, Turkey, India, Sri Lanka, Finland and Sierra Leone. The coins were actual foreign legal tender and came packaged in cardboard holders featuring Sugar Bear in costumes traditional to the country.

According to the promotion's official rules, 6.2 million specially marked boxes of Super Golden Crisp contained a foreign coin, while 180 boxes contained the "lucky" coin, a tenth-ounce American Eagle gold bullion coin. Boxes with the American Eagles were not specially identified and finding one was the luck of the draw.

Along with the coins, the promotion also offered a collector's tray that housed the six coins and their holders for $2.95 plus two proofs-of-purchase.The promotion also offered the chance to win another American Eagle by mail through the Collector's Coin Sweepstakes. One randomly selected name out of every 35,000 entries would win a gold coin. The offer was valid until Jan. 15, 1990.

This coin is in excellent condition. The holder is starting to seperate and shows signs of aging. The pictured coin is the exact one you will receive. Thank you!
