Can they be stung?

pecuniumA "commemerative" silver leaf "coin striking" of a 20 dollar bill is being marketed.
It's appealing to the idea of, "we will never forget" about That Tues. With the numbers for the value being added up from 9, and 11.
The reverse is the part one is supposed to look at, with the towers of the World Trade Center frosted on a smooth background, "Glowing as they did on that fateful morning"
Seven years, that's what it's meant to recall. Why seven years is supposed to be so important, I have no idea, but they are pushing it.
Now, I happen find this sort of wound-poking, pain-retaining, exceptionalist crap, really offensive. To be honest, it disgusts me.
They say it was going to be sold at an intial offering price of $39 US, but now it can be had for the face value of $20.
But there's a catch. It not legal tender in the US, it's legal tender in Liberia. Can I send them $20 Liberian (which is, $.32 US as I type this). Because they say it's being offered at the "face value" and as I understand it and made a point to show Whole Foods the other day) if you have an advertised price, you have to sell at that price.
I'd love to make them take a bath on this piece of shit.
