Besides custom boxes of cereal, many of the most popular cereals always had cool band merchandise, like these coins. Of course receiving promotional chocolate coins would have been an even tastier treat, who wouldn’t want a picture of the Monkees. Yea, I said it the Monkees. You know, Micky Dolenz, Michael Nesmith,  Peter Tork, and Davy Jones. Yup, those guys, and yes they are still around. Of course, if you held on to your piece of promotional Monkees schwag it would be a great collectors item by now.

Hey, hey, we're the Monkees
And people say we monkey around.
But we're too busy singing
To put anybody down.
