I don't know if anyone else has talked about this. I got my Linus Coin in the mail, and this April Fools joke is so multi-faceted it's ridiculous.
First they drop it on April Fools with a super fake sounding description vaguely promising to "double your money" without having mentioned it ever prior. So some people thought it was fake and didn't bother buying. Those of us that have been around long enough know better. We know the "Trust Me Bro" Guarantee. If you put it in your cart and the transaction goes through then it's real. So I tried and sure as heck. CW took my money. So I wait and see WAN Show later that day and partway through they announce it's real and everyone floods to buy them. I get my $40 gift card email. Quite some later comes the actual coin in the mail. I go to open it and it says "DO NOT DROP" written all over it, go to flip it over and it falls right out. The cheeky mothers designed the package to engineer a "Linus Drop Tips" moment on every fan who bought the coin. Being CW they were merciful and made sure it was protected from the fall. I open it. Flip it over, and it says "Trust Me Bro" "$$$". A direct call back to the fake sounding nature of the description, and a direct nod to every fan who saw it and just trusted their fake sounding description before even hearing the verification on WAN Show.
