Comments

Shell's Presidential Coin Game was a promotional game issued by Shell Oil in 1992. This was an instant winner game and the grand prize was a $50,000 gold bar! The game pieces were collectible and there was game-themed merchandise that could be purchased.

The game ran for 45 days, from 5/22/92 to 7/5/92. During that time 45 million game pieces were distributed. With each visit to a participating Shell gas station, players received a foil packet. In the packet was either a presidential medal struck in brass, or an INSTANT WINNER token struck in nickel-silver. There were six different prizes of gold and silver which were won by receiving one of the instant winner tokens.
