Ohh, I had almost forgotten about that canvas bag! That's nice and glad to hear you got to use them Mitchell 
. So.. Did you turn any of those guys in to soon-to-be collectors? 
I think that these pennies has a certain use for just that, getting more people in to collectibles.

Other than the silly fun of wearing bitcoins inside your penny loafers, that's the main reason we made these coins. At the time, almost all other coins on the market were ~$75 per coin (fine silver), so we decided to tackle the sub-$5 market. (Fun for us, but very little profit! LOL) And we still enjoy that niche, while we've also expanded to include more highly collectible coins too, such as our limited edition, special mint SN coins and Special Edition Rolls.
We love to leave the original CJB, DAVE, and the new IRIE coins everywhere we go. Grocery store parking lots are great places! The beach is great too! This summer we'll be burying a small wooden treasure chest filled with Bitcoin Penny pirate-y goodness on a few east coast beaches. (Might have to send a pirate chest to MJ or someone on the west coast too!)
Keep sharing those coins, everyone!
Regards,
Chris
I think you've done a fantastic job! Your product feels high end when you hold them, not something that is sub $5 (besides the size
).I love the idea of the Pirate chests! Damn I wish I was living on the east coast haha. Can't wait to see pictures of that one. Would be fun if you sent some to the west-coast so MJ could battle the others there (I think we have some notable collectors over there). Nice to hear the update anyways. Will you ever make a full size (1oz) coin? Could be a cool suppliment to the pennies. Call it the BitcoinDollar.
