2017 Tuvalu 1 Dollar 1-oz Silver Ghostbusters Stay Puft Proof

Survive the Romp of Marshmallow Man!

In 1984, the world fell in love with a comedy movie featuring Dan Aykroyd, Bill Murray, Sigourney Weaver, and other stars. After crushing it at the box office, it developed a tremendous following that led to a sequel a few years later, a pair of animated television series, video games, and more. The comedic approach to the paranormal gave fans of all ages the chance to laugh at a subject that many consider creepy, though subsequent iterations made it even more accessible to a younger audience. To this day, those who watched Ghostbusters growing up can’t help but smile when they catch reruns or share the experience with their children.

This coin celebrates the biggest ghost in the movie, who terrorized New Yorkers with marshmallow slime. The adorable yet terrorizing creature continues to be associated with the movie today. This coin shows him stomping through the streets of New York, which are silver, while Marshmallow Man himself and the lightning-filled sky are colorized.
