Over 1.5 Million of these unique,Trademarked collectibles have been sold since their introduction in the year 2000. The colorful bears have a "see through" pocket that holds the state coin. The color of the bear reflects the geographic or historical background of the state. The year the coin was issued, the year the colony became a state and an exact replica of the state flag are embroidered on the bear. The years 1999 through 2006 are available at special prices. This product received a Dr. Toy award for most unique collectible toy in 2001. "It is the only collectible that combines the appeal of a teddy bear, a bean bag and a coin in one product," CEO Harold Nizamian of Timeless Toys Inc. told TDmonthly. Launch date: October 22, 2008.
