These look awesome but...
Why would you buy this given the current state of the Bitcoin market/economy?
This might be nice as an investment if there was a good indicator that your investment would give you any kind of return. I don't see good reason to believe this right now.
These would also be nice if I could take them and walk into a store and give them to a merchant to purchase goods. This just isn't possible unless you live around the corner from Meze Grill.
My conclusion: This is novel, awesome looking, and way before it's time, but in this case being 'way before it's time' is not in the interest of the consumer.
Edit: However, if you're an early adopter and have 10,000+ BTC stored in a wallet or exchange, this might be a good way to secure your coins; after all, for you it would be all profit anyway and you can afford for the price to drop. But do you really want to lug around/store 10,000+ of these bad boys? Maybe 100 BTC coins for the big dogs might be a good idea for the time being.

Though just the first 8 characters of the bitcion address are on the coin itself, am I given the full Bitcoin address on the shipping list or something so that I can verify the address truly has funds? (or to add funds to it if I wish?)
Amazing! They look like gold coins and at the same time with all the holographic stuff look super-techy too!
Please, research delivery to other countries!

Still building the web content to sell these online. These turned out sweet! Until then, supply shipping info and ask me in PM for a PGP signed bitcoin payment address.
These are a REAL BITCOIN each worth 1 BTC. One side has a hologram. Underneath the hologram layer is a private key. The first 8 characters of the bitcoin address appears on each coin.
Current pricing: 1.25 BTC per coin for up to 10 coins. 1.20 BTC per coin for up to 100 coins. Add 1.00 BTC for shipping (any quantity, and it will be sent USPS Priority Mail insured for our mutual protection). Outside US, please let me do some research to find out the best way to ship these (as they are heavy in quantity and I prefer to ship them insured).
How they appear when broken open: (they use Mini private key format as described in Wiki)
