The entire month of May has been dedicated to the study of zombies and the possibility of an apocalypse. This campaign was initiated by the Zombie Research Society (ZRS) in hopes of educating people on how to prevent and prepare for an outbreak in the coming years.
The ZRS takes a serious approach to the month and promotes the wearing of gray ribbons each day, which represents the darkness behind the light. There are also many charity events throughout the month, such as zombie runs, walks and food drives, but the ZRS prefers people to use those platforms to educate, not for enjoyment. Other organizations favor the month for showcasing zombie films, shows and other entertainment, however.
Zombies currently appeal to the masses because most people associate the infected with fun, not for the dangers they could someday be. Even the dangerous thoughts lend themselves toward people playing the guessing game about how long they could survive, what weapons they would use and the kind of people they would surround themselves with.
But, Provident Metals has been on the forefront of apocalypse preparation since 2013, when Zombucks: Currency of the Apocalypse was introduced. Instead of dollars, the world will only need Zombucks, the exclusive series that pays tribute to 10 historical coin designs, with values at Z50 for silver and Z2 for copper. The rounds will replace modern currency when the dollar is no longer useful after zombies attack – which is forecasted for 2017.
While the series has two more designs to unveil through the remainder of 2015, those that choose to prepare for the apocalypse with Zombucks will be the ones that outlast the pandemic.
Get your hands on the current BU silver and copper Zombucks Slayed Dollar rounds or proof versions of the previous releases.
Be sure to keep your eyes peeled for the final two designs in the series to ensure you’re fully stocked up on Zombucks, raising your odds of survival. Here is the complete list of the released Zombucks rounds and their mintages:
