1 x 1 oz Copper Round d'Anconia Copper LLC "Apes Together Strong 2022"

The worlds of stock trading and the Internet meme collided in spectacular fashion in 2021 during the first “meme stock trading” craze. Centered around the struggling video game retailer GameStop, a large number of individual “retail” stock traders using smartphone trading apps got involved in an attempt to boost the value of the company’s stock and cause losses to firms and hedge funds that were profiting from “short-selling.” The GameStop “short squeeze” originated on /r/WallStreetBets, and the Internet meme “Apes Together Strong” was a rallying cry for its underdog retail traders, now celebrated in copper bullion with the 1 oz Wall Street Bets Apes Together Strong Copper Round.

Collectible Highlights:

• Ships individually in a plastic flip, in tubes of 20, or in boxes of 500 rounds!
• Celebrates the “meme stock trading” phenomenon as seen on /r/WallStreetBets!
• Contains 1 AVDP oz of .999 pure copper.
• Features artwork referencing the “Apes Together Strong” Internet meme.

Originating as dialogue in the 2011 film Rise of the Planet of the Apes, the viral Internet meme “Apes Together Strong” has come to have a meaning that goes far beyond its original context. In many online forums, it became a semi-humorous and in some ways self-deprecating catchphrase of solidarity among people who felt underestimated by the world around them. That made it a perfect fit for the culture of small retail traders who, using stock trading apps such as Robinhood, gave rise to a “meme stock trading” craze that’s still making waves today.

The phrase “Apes Together Strong” is featured along with playful artwork on the Wall Street Bets Apes Together Strong Copper Round. Individual rounds ship in a plastic flip, while larger orders come in tubes of 20 or boxes of 500, with all shipments being fully insured against any possible mishap in transit by the team at JM Bullion.

The design features a small boy in sunglasses with large diamonds in each hand, riding a rocket ship in much the same way the proverbial “little guy” meme traders hope to ride the craze to fortune. The inscription “Apes Together Strong” appears at the rim, along with the smaller inscription “/r/WallStreetBets.”
