The collapsing staircase below Starving Liberty has fallen, and the seventh design in the Zombucks: Currency of the Apocalypse® series has been contained after three months of activity.
Starving Liberty paid homage to the Standing Liberty quarter, which was manufactured by the U.S. Mint and circulated from 1916-1930. Hermon MacNeil designed the original Standing Liberty coin — which depicted Liberty standing guard.
Zombucks Starving Liberty bullion rounds were officially discontinued on April 1 — only proof versions will remain.

Now that Starving Liberty has been contained, the 2019 Slayed Dollar takes over.
Introducing seated liberty, the Slayed Dollar commemorates the U.S. Mint’s Trade Dollar, a design that represented commerce and independence. Falling victim of the apocalypse, it now symbolizes the toll the cataclysmal world has on even the best of us — she now sits on a throne made of skeletons while holding a scythe with her weakened, decomposing body.
Slayed Dollar is the eighth design in the exclusive series from Provident Metals. The zombified round will be available until July 1, 2015.
