Currency. Dough. Wonga. Money. Everyone wants it. Nobody’s got enough. Back during the Great Depression, some banks actually issued wooden nickels as currency, which is probably where the American adage, “Don’t take any wooden nickels” arose as a reminder to be cautious in one’s financial dealings.

But just like U2 stole Helter Skelter back from Charles Manson, we’re coining the phrase Do take wooden nickels, namely ones backed by Giftly.

So we’ve been hard at work in the Giftly mint (/woodshop), stamping out five genuine wooden nickels, each themed around a memorable moment in gifting history. Here are the famous presents we’re immortalizing: 

1. The Trojan Horse

2. Fire

3. The Gift of the Magi

4. The Statue of Liberty

5. The Christmas Story BB Red Ryder gun 

We’re seeing kids young and old snap up these handsome collectibles, and not just for the $5 promo code that’s attached to some of them. Collect all 5? Yes, there is a prize… and it’s surprise.

Want a nickel, or want to get a $5 promo to try out Giftly? Tweet us which memorable moments in gifting history we’re missing and we’ll send you one!
