One Giant Step..

...for the special effects industry.

In a little over a month, NASA and space nerds everywhere will celebrate the 41st (faking of) the moon landing!   

I haven't ever found much in the way of contemporary commemoratives for this event, which is kind of surprising when you consider the enormous business in commemoratives today.   However, I did recently come upon this cute bank, which is marked on the bottom 'Apollo Moon Bank,' and dated '69 on the underside.

A disclaimer: My primary reason for alleging the moon landing was faked is that the assertion turns space nerds into angry rabid wolverines.  My secondary reason is that it probably was.
