OMG - the PENGUIN PENNY!

OMG - the PENGUIN PENNY!

Penguin PennyThat cute little coin to the left is the Falkland Islands Penguin Penny. It features mother and father Gentoo penguins watching over the nest of their little egg.
That's pretty adorable. And you can have one. Easy.
See, we're heading down there to film and we could pick you up one. All you need to do to get yours is go to Hit and Run History on Kickstarter and make ANY pledge. As low as one dollar.
That's right -- you can have a penguin for buck.
Check online and you'll find these going on ebay for three times that. So it definitely has value. But c'mon -- it's a freakin' Penguin Penny! You're not going to sell it. You'll keep in your pocket, pull it out at parties as a conversation piece, or give it to your kids and be a hero.
If you've already made a pledge, surprise! You're going to get one of these in addition to whatever reward you've chosen already. Just another way we say thanks to those who are helping us reach our goal.
We'd even be happy to give you one for every dollar you pledge, up to $50. So five penguins for a $5 pledge, or a roll of 50 for a pledge of $50 and beyond. This is in addition to any rewards currently posted.
