Big Mac Coins Stable Currency

I work at McDonalds and we have these little cards that we give to customers when we fuck up their order that let's them redeem the card for a free Big Mac. Just recently, we received a box of these special coins. They are going to serve the same purpose. If you have one of the coins, you can exchange it for a Big Mac. It's for the 50th anniversary of the Big Mac. Now, I'm far from an economics expert, so this may just be a stupid question, but since our money has no value anymore since it was taken off the gold standard, whereas these coins from McDonalds are backed up by Big Macs, does that make them a more stable currency than our own money? yes it do

A screenshot of an anonymous forum post shows a McDonald’s worker comparing Big Mac redemption coins to modern currency. The joke is that the coins are supposedly backed by a tangible food item, making them seem more stable than money after the end of the gold standard; the reply humorously confirms the absurd argument with “yes it do.” EN: A screenshot of an anonymous forum post shows a McDonald’s worker comparing Big Mac redemption coins to modern currency.
