Norrin Radd As Legal Tender

For the first time in history, an alien appears on a piece of US legal tender, with Marvel Comics' space-born superhero character the 'Silver Surfer' replacing George Washington on the American Quarter.

20th Century Fox and the Franklin Mint have teamed up to make a coin that celebrates the release of the Vancouver-filmed, "Fantastic Four: Rise of The Silver Surfer".

The "Silver Surfer" US quarter has already been put into circulation, with a total of 40,000 in the US currency stream.

The 'head' side of the limited edition coin features an image of the alien 'Norrin Radd', aka the 'Silver Surfer'.
