McDonald's iconic Big Mac burger just turned 50 years old this year and to mark the occasion, McDonald's released the "Mac Coin".

The MacCoin is the first food-backed collectable currency. Which means that each coin represents a Big Mac and can be used to purchase a burger all over the world.

Magic 103 received a few bags full of these coins and will be giving them away in various ways. Stay tuned for details on how to get your hands on these limited edition Mac Coins.

These collectable coins feature five unique designs, each representing a decade of the Big Mac and its influence on life, commerce and pop culture.

Each MacCoin design features elements from a particular time in history, with a nod to the art, music and pop culture of that time: the '70s coin showcases the flower power that defined that decade, the '80s alludes to pop art, the '90s features abstract geometric shapes, the early '00s focuses on the technology that was at the forefront of the turn of the century, and the '10s MacCoin celebrates the past 10 years by calling attention to the evolution of communication.

The front of the MacCoin celebrates the 50th Anniversary of the Big Mac. Additionally, the relevant time is specified in seven languages: Arabic, English, Indonesian, Mandarin, Portuguese, French and Spanish.
