    McCoin will come in five different designs, which will depict every decade of Big Mac’s lifespan with a few tricky references to the pop culture of the respective decade. Technically, McCoin is <a href="https://u.today/how-to-create-your-own-cryptocurrency-beginners-guide">not a cryptocurrency</a>, because it is literally a physical coin. McCoin, of course, cannot be used for investment purposes, since the only investment that you can do is to buy another legendary burger with these coins! Otherwise, one can simply collect them.

    Economic impact

The magazine annually uses Big Macs’s prices in order to evaluate and compare the purchasing power of different <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://cryptocomes.com/blockchain-positively-impacts-chinese-economy-official-report">economies</a> around the globe (for example, the famous burger meal turned out to be 53 percent cheaper in Hong Kong).
