Just out of curiosity, where do you get your silver planchets? Or are they just coin blanks?

I have connections to a private mint... not sure where they get their stuff from. I imagine they poor huge glowing smelters of ore into little coin shapes, but that's probably not how it works Wink

Some dude got imprisoned for what you're planning watch out lol. It's not illegal, but they got him anyway because he challenged the system.

If they are sold as a commemorative medal it will be fine definitely anything but sold as a currency.

Out of curiousity, are these actually tied to BTC in any way besides the branding?

No, just novelty... and a kinda cool combination of two kinds of real money.

It would be cool if somehow you put an off-line wallet inside the coin and issued these with a wallet address that people could use as a "savings" account.

I'd be a big fan of this, but before I commit I'd definitely want to see a proof of concept design of the coin.

Honestly, I'd prefer something really simple with the bitcoin logo like you have on one side and the other side having something else but certainly claiming .999 fine silver. I'd also want to pay in bitcoins.

If you were to do half-ounce rounds instead, it might be possible to get the price down to 1BTC (market depending, of course). It would be very interesting to see in 5-10 years how much the silver coin is worth in Bitcoins, or how many Bitcoins it would cost to buy the silver coin.

The premium for ASEs is under $5.00 in small quantities.

I think I'd be willing to buy one for about $10 over spot. But if you can get your cost down into the $5-$7 range, or lower, I'd get several.

Of course, I'd want to pay in BTC too.
