Angus Bucks
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Angus Bucks, Angus Bills or AC/DC Dollars are usually fake (aka exonumia, fantasy issue), United States one-dollar bills featuring Angus Young, the lead guitarist from the Australian rock 'n' roll band AC/DC. Thousands were dropped on the audience as a theatrical gimmick at the end of the song "Moneytalks" during the band's tour to promote their 1990 album The Razors Edge. In 2019 a commemorative 1 dollar fine gold coin was issued for the Cook Islands by CIT, in the shape of a gold foil bank note, with the reverse showing an Angus Buck.
Angus Young takes the place of George Washington on the front. On the back in place of the Great Seal and the bald eagle, are the cannon from the band's 1981 album For Those About to Rock We Salute You and a large iron bell representing the song "Hells Bells" from their 1980 album Back In Black.
Additional appearances
They were featured in the music video for "Moneytalks" which can be found on their DVD, Family Jewels. Additionally, AC/DC concert DVDs subsequent to the release of The Razors Edge, which include "Moneytalks" in the set list, also feature their appearance, for example, Live at Donington.
