How were these distributed? First the post office with star wars and now the mint with this. I'm not being funny but is this constitutional? These quarters are going for $80 on ebay. I'd love to have one but not for $80!

Silver Star’s 3,065 skiable acres, easy-skiing snow and Painted Lady-inspired village perch on the very northern end of British Columbia’s wine country, just 20 minutes from the small, unpretentious city of Vernon. Taken together, the ski resort, the city and the leisure-friendly North Okanagan wine region offer a rare mix of quality experiences for a broad array of ski vacationer tastes and budgets.
I figured it was just a promotion but it appears to be somewhat legal tender and you could get more than $80 for them now.Comment

I did. I also found out how they were distributed. They were sent as a promotional item to people who work in the entertainment industry (journalists, newscasters, etc. who cover movies). There were 4 quarters given with instructions to spend them so they would find their way into circulation.
I purchased a complete 4 quarter set from someone in the industry but won't say who as not to get him into trouble. He was really nice and ended up sending me not only the entire set untouched but the entire set of Fantastic Four promotional items he received including a copy of the movie well before it was released on DVD."The farther we go, the more the ultimate explanation recedes from us, and all we have left is faith."
