In 1892, in Atlanta, Georgia, a smooth drinking phenomenon was born. Coca-Cola's sales are remarkable, in 2020 its global revenues reached around US $ 33 billion. They are one of the most recognized brands in history and for this reason, many collectors love to obtain all types of paraphernalia.

Who would have thought that a Coke factory error could be worth a quarter of a million dollars though. One would think perhaps a vintage bottle or advert would be where the big bucks are, but if you happen to come across a closed, empty can it could be worth a fortune! 

The history of this brand is undeniable, so for pop culture enthusiasts and collectors, spending US$250,000 on an old tin might seem like the best way to spend the day. However, it's hard not to think of other things you could buy with a quarter of a million dollars.
