Dying Eagles soared the skies for three months searching for its next victim, but time finally caught up to the winged zombie. As of October 1, 2015, Dying Eagle was contained thanks to the arrival of Zombucks The Saint.
The ninth design in the Zombucks: Currency of the Apocalypse Series was the zombified version of the Flying Eagle Cent that circulated in the late 1850s. James Longacre’s depiction of an elegant bald eagle was “by all odds the best design on any American coin,” according to famed sculptor Augustus Saint-Gaudens. When the apocalypse spread throughout the world, not even animals were safe, and the bald eagle became Dying Eagle.

The Saint will be available until December 31, 2015.
