This is a great idea.

If Mike Caldwell would do the run, as some people have suggested, that would be even more exciting as some sort of closing the loop from the first physicals.

To avoid counterfeits maybe a metal stamping (or laser engraving) machine could individually engrave a derivation of a user supplied public key so that an index of all originally issued coins can be published. Way better than a hologram unless someone intends to also store BTC on it (which I don't think is the point in this case).

Will keep on watching this thread

P.S.: Also it would be a good idea to make it from Silver. It's not like that would make it much more expensive to produce.

P.S.2: Titanium would also be great and it would in some way "show" the evolution from classic PM's to a more advanced store of value as Bitcoin represents. I think it is harder to manufacture (proof of work lol) though. Not sure... what do the experts say?

Why is the number ranging from 50-300, isn't it pretty low for such a huge forum? Are there only 300 reputed members? May be you could give around 1000-2000 coins to all those willing to expose their location to you primarily since most of them remain anonymous. Also what would be the purpose of giving someone a collectible coin (which might be quite rare) if they doesn't know what it is?

50-300 is fine.

If we do not state a definite upper limit then we run into a Sorites paradox, where n+1 is as good as n and hence we arbitrarily increase.

IMO I would like to see theymos get in contact with Kialara, smoothie (Lealana), and Mike Caldwell (Casascius). These guys have 1oz, 2oz coins on lockdown and create absolutely stunning pieces. Not to say we don't have some other very capable coin creators but those three come to mind as being very large parts of the growth of this particular board on the forum. I'd throw eodguy in there but so far the last coin he teased here seemed to never come to fruition. Mind you they could possibly already have a lot on their plate due to upcoming releases, but with the proper incentive and exposure im sure they could create something incredible.

We have some incredible holograms kicking around aswell.. use the resources we have and make this coin a must have.

I just ask the OP to consult some of the ORIGINAL collectors to keep from cocking up this good idea. Last thing you need is too many damn cooks in the kitchen. Just my 2 Satoshis. Wink

If the coin is successful, small circulation will create prerequisites for fakes, it is now commonplace. In the creation technology there should be complexity for protection against fakes.

If this is a reward, the serial numbers will let you know the story. There may be several degrees of merit and several variants of execution.

If this project is in the style of minimalism, then everything is much simpler.

Fakes commonplace? where, please show me......

collectors always discuss a coin on the forum to make sure it is original. a lot of fakes, modern equipment has improved the quality of fakes. But each period had its own technology and there are small nuances of production. it makes sense if there is an expensive item.

When? Show at least one example of this happening.

I think they are referring to non-crypto coins. Wink

of course. Ordinary coins, numismatics. :)We are discussing coins from metal?))

if in the search to enter fake coins there will be many articles and photos.

We have many tools to determine fake coins, welcome to the collectibles section.

Is this really true? If the idea of the coin/bar/note is very unique and difficult to reproduce we won't be seeing much of these fakes probably. Casascius coins were one among the few rare coins to be copied and reproduced, apart from that I don't see much fakes being reproduced! If that was so, it would completely destroy the value of coin in long run. Even some common chips like satoris and BTCC and coins like Bitcoin Penny haven't been reproduced even though they are somewhat easier to fake when compared to other premium collectibles like Lealana and Kialaras.

Have you encountered any fakes for Kialara moon suites or the recently produced Kialara Hydras?
What are your basis for these claims?

I am familiar only with the coins of the Russian Empire and the USSR. Very often attract high-end experts to determine. In Russian-speaking forums, it is often written that this is a threatening statistic both for the Middle Ages and for the 18th century and for the USSR. Although it is different technologies and metals. In rare instances, it has become customary to order a professional examination. I have seen a lot of sales, with a certificate in the kit.

Perhaps theymos will want to make an ordinary memorable copy, inexpensive. A copper medal with a good design will also be beautiful.

I suggest doing in batches with date and with drawings that refer to an important fact that has occurred in the forum.
That is, a batch with the date of 2010 could have reference to the topic about the Laszlo pizza. The 2013 coin about HODLING. And so on.

In addition, it could have two types. One of .999 Ag and one of brass. So more people could buy or participate in the raffle.

Great idea.
Like jojo said .999 Ag, size of a dollar coin, and some cool scifi design.
I would love that, great initiative.

to users who meet some to-be-determined criteria.

So basically only Chipmixer campaigners get it? Roll Eyes

Features:

Each coin to be specially designed as per each user's UID and have their UID engraved in it. Or even better, engrave the user's avatar and name on one side, and a default bitcointalk logo, or anything that exclusively defines bitcointalk on the other side.

How about THAT?

Also if possible, load the exact amount of satoshis/ ubtc/mbtc equivalent to the merit/post count of the person receiving it?

Yeah if it would be a coin.... Then Some coins with HAT-avatars would be an awesome collectible

1. random raffle, provably fair, sha256 hash of user's name and random secret known by 2 different people revealed on the day, so everyone can verify who won. Hash sorted and lowest 100 wins.

2. comes with a loaded opendime, so no need to do anything to the physical coin or etch anything to it. (ha, i wish.)

The Stone the masons rejected was the cornerstone.

I love the idea. There are some solid coin makers in here that am sure can give you some advice in the art of coin making. Bigtimesphagetti even wrote a book about it. Wink

I would suggest silver 1oz coins. Loaded preferably. Limited to 100 coins. Goodluck
