From affecting our symbol of freedom to infecting a 1,500-pound buffalo, the apocalypse has known no bounds. We could only imagine where it would spread to next, but our grandest imaginations could not have prepared us for this: the 2019 Zombucks Dying Eagle.
The ninth release in the Zombucks: Currency of the Apocalypse™ can be seen in “coming soon” status on Wednesday, June 24 with sales officially beginning July 1, 2015. For a sneak peek, checkout the giveaway details below.
Dying Eagle was once a graceful bald eagle on the obverse of the Flying Eagle one-cent piece that circulated from 1857-1858. James Longacre, United States Mint engraver, created the original design in 1856 to show the patriotic animal in complete elegance, with Augustus Saint-Gaudens saying it was “by all odds the best design on any American coin.”
The Dying Eagle soars above the living with tattered wings, losing feathers with every flap as it chases its victims. With bones and muscles visible throughout the bird’s body, the Dying Eagle will have enough strength to power through the next three months – as the round will only be available until Oct. 1, 2015.
Zombucks is the only currency worth having during the apocalypse, so hunt down as many Dying Eagles as possible. As inscribed on each round, the zombified piece is worth Z50.

I think a lot of people are
missing the point of the Zombuck series. I love it !!
You all at Provident are awesome and that was an awesome/worthwhile contest…keep ’em coming, please. Took 1 minute (you can sign in through FB with one click) to open an instagram account and another 30 seconds to fulfill the rest of your entry requirements. You can’t please ’em all and if a couple minutes of effort is just too apalling to someone you might’ve gotten sued by ’em for making them carry 3 ounces from the mailbox…pain and suffering, my friends…pain and suffering.
What anal whiners
I am a big fan of zombucks, have several of all 8 designs. Very disappointed in #9. Of all coin designs that are more familiar and highly recognizable, I am surprised that a flying eagle was chosen with only one other design left. With other zombucks, you can look at a coin and easily tell what coin it came from……….you look at the dying eagle and go: “what is that supposed to be?”. The flying eagle is not the most recognizable coin but even if it was, the resemblances is just not there. Might buy one for the sake of having a full set but feel like it’s the worst one so far.
This is an awesome series , but I hope that coin on insta gram isn’t the real design . boooooooooo! I agree with the first comment way too cartoony. However I am a very satisfied customer of provident metals and 1 poor design out of ten is still 90 percent satisfaction. Hope design 10 is more exciting.
Disappointed in this design, I have to say. Unfortunate because the last couple designs in particular have been excellent. It looks much more cartoony than the previous rounds, especially when compared to the original Flying Eagle (which wasn’t even a silver coin at anytime). I wouldn’t be offended if Provident said this was a bonus coin, and released two more to finish the series.
Agree with other comments. The IG ploy is bad marketing.
I like your coins and will keep buying them, but it”s not right to have to sign in to some social media in order to win something. You should just have an entry on your site !!
Boo! Why put this on Facebook when the contest takes place on Instagram? Facebook is the only social media that some people do.
Man I wanted Ben Frankenstein so so baddd
Does anyone even use Instagram ???????????
I don’t
i do
I think its stupid youre only opening the contest to instagram users- i only use facebook and barely use it- such a shame to exclude othera because we dont want to be so tied to so many time wasting sites
Russell, we wanted a fun way to launch our new Instagram account and show everyone the latest Zombucks design. We also hold contests on facebook and will be doing more of that in the future as well. We’d love for you to join us and the contest on IG, but if not, the product will be live on our website in coming soon status on Wednesday and officially released on July 1. Thanks!
It’s very dumb only open to instagram! Not cool at all!!!!
Agreed! I am a faithful customer of provident metals and the zombucks series. Probably one of the coolest private mint designs out there. I hate that Facebook instagram crap. If you have an account with provident metals you should be able to participate as well. Is it really that hard to aggregate all the participant info and draw a winner out of it. I doubt it.
I understand that prov met is just trying something fun, but a little more thought into this idea would have been worthwhile.
Oh well. Its not like I would have won it anyway, lol.
It is a really stupid way to discriminate against those who don’t use things like Instagram. It isn’t a fun way to do things. you can still do it thru the instagram but also thru FB or something else. Just another discriminatory giveaway. So sad 🙁
Is it really that hard to open an instagram account? Bunch of crybabies!
Easy to open but it does discriminate against us loyal and paying customers.
