Can we make them edible? This way when you are done spending them, you have a tasty snack.

Facetious bastard, everyone knows that eating Bitcoins will create a bezoar. LOL
Much like the creation of pearls in oysters.

But is it difficult do make a 3D printer that works with some different colors?

The new MakerBot Replicator is capable of two-color printing. With previous models (single extruder) it would be a bit of a hassle.

I'd suggest painting the QR code after printing.

I think it isn't.

I think the only way is via colored sandstone right now. You could also just press the whole thing into an ink pad.

Prof. Don Patterson explains the outcome of the 3D printing project that his research group is working on. A QR code is printed onto a physical representation of a bitcoin. The resulting object is not quite good enough, but some good lessons were learned.

I think that it's easier to create new coins, everyone can start making them at home now Cheesy
