Revealed: The coveted and rare In-N-Out Burger souvenir you can get for free - ... trends now

There is a rare In-N-Out Burger souvenir that you can get for free and sell for nearly $1,000 online. 

There are many rumors about how to get your hands on one of these collectors items, but only one way how: being the first customer at a new In-N-Out restaurant.

The first customer at a new store opening, which are said to be not celebrated or advertised, will receive the coveted In-N-Out coin. 

The tradition began nearly 70-years-ago when In-N-Out co-founder Harry Snyder, created his first burger coin in 1958, when the chain only had three stores. 

The coins, about the size of a silver dollar, are being sold on second-hand retail sites like eBay for up to $800.

'We don't really celebrate or advertise new store openings, however, it's our tradition to welcome our first customer with a special In-N-Out Burger coin as well as a T-shirt, and the meal that day is on us,' In-N-Out COO Denny Warnick told the Eureka Times-Standard in 2020 before the opening of a California store. 

Recently, a member of the In-N-Out Facebook group shared his surprise encounter of receiving a prized 400 coin from a manager. 

This particular coin commemorated the chain's milestone of opening its 400th restaurant in Meridian, Idaho, the San Fransisco Gate reported.

Each burger coin is redeemable for menu items and has no expiration date. 

The collection comprises of twelve variations, including an exceptionally rare solid silver coin exclusively for staff promoted to store manager.
