That's freaking awesome. I am aware the museum was interested in the coins and sent some without giving it a second thought but am super flattered to see they are being displayed.

Are they loaded?

I hope you are not thinking what I think your thinking... Grin

I hope he is thinking what I think you think he's thinking. It'd be good publicity. Cheesy

That is great. If anybody goes to the British Museum, can he take a picture with a higher resolution, post it here and state that it can be freely downloaded and used without royalty or compensation, both for commercial and non-commercial purposes? I would like to use it.

That's awesome. Congratulations Casascius. Not many people can say them made something that ends up in a national museum.

Wow, that's really cool.

Is that a Casascius coin? Wait until he sees it.

If you read the text you'll see it says the coins were donated by Casascius himself.

Already saw it and edited my message.

Damn why are you so fast, nobody would have recognized it.

That's brilliant!

Pretty swish to see some BTC included in a history of money exhibition.

Wow, that's really cool.

As it was donated by Casascius I suppose he knows about this.

The British Museum is hosting an exhibition on the history of money around the world (http://www.britishmuseum.org/explore/galleries/themes/room_68_money.aspx).

I came across this little gem there:

Go, if you get a chance. It's a great exhibition.
