Burger King is launching a CURRENCY called ‘Whoppercoin’ which you earn by eating loads of fast food
BURGER King is launching a digital currency called WhopperCoin.
The fast food chain's Russian arm is offering customers the chain to claim one digital 'coin' for every rouble (75p) spent on a Whopper, according to .
Digital currencies like Bitcoin have surged in popularity - with one BTC equating to around £3,300.
Burger King Russia reportedly said it planned to accept Bitcoin payments earlier this year.
A spokesperson is understood to have told local media that the cryptocurrency is first and foremost a loyalty program that works similar to a points system.
It has partnered with Russian start-up Waves to create and run the scheme.
Waves will be in charge of the admin, keeping a ledger of who owns what.
You might not be able to purchase any WhopperCoins if you live in the UK, but there has been some exciting burger-related news of late.
Burger King is extending its delivery service with Just Eat to over 100 restaurants by the end of 2017.
Home delivery is available in restaurants in London, Manchester, Birmingham, Nottingham and Leeds.
