Eh. It’s not something I would ever buy, especially not for $319, but I don’t see anything intrinsically wrong here. What’s your beef with it?

Personally, I think it’s silly-looking.

Also, $319 is a lot to pay for $43 of silver.

I assume the joke is about a silver coin being issued to commemorate werewolves.

That’s where I was leaning too. Also the fact that in a series of 4 pictures they managed to never show me the 2nd side of the coin.

Got me thinking about other inappropriate products:

The Flash Jr Chemistry Set  
Dracula’s Old World Garlic Powder  
Wonder Woman Ball Gag  
Border Patrol Badge with Superman Logo  
24K Gold Replica Green Lantern Ring  
Lex Luthor’s School for Kids Who Can’t Read Good  
Aquaman Brand Tuna

Insert obligatory [Three Wolf Moon](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three_Wolf_Moon) joke here.

They need a Three Werewolf Moon coin (and shirt).

Thanks - now I can’t NOT see it!

I don’t think the coin is wrong, but I don’t really get the point of it, either. Hey, if it’s made with real silver, maybe you’re supposed to melt it down and shoot a real werewolf with it!

Boy werewolfs have a penis. Girl werewolfs have a vagina.  
Yes, I am away the proper plural is werewolves and that a vagina and a vulva are not the same thing.

Granted, if you’re ever in a situation where you need that information, you’re probably already in trouble.
