      Highly unlikely. Those coins are over $700 to purchase from the mint. They are real gold. The face value is $5 but it’s literally worth its weight in gold.

      Then again I’m sure someone will spend it at face value at some point, and you’re probably right it will likely be at a Walmart. 🙄
