Hi All,
There seems to be a big emphasis on Gold, Silver, Coppper and Brass used in
the making of collectible crypto coins, which is all good.
I have seen coins listed here before in Aluminium , Stainless Steel, Platinum
I think and Bronze
I think but I was wondering lately what other types
of materials or even metal alloy's would be cool and different to produce
collectible coins in?
My first thought went to Jade, and I havent seen anything in Jade with a
Bitcoin theme, how cool would that be be create a Satoshi coin from a
distinctly oriental material?

As regards metal alloys there are many which have been used in ancient coinage
like Electrum which is an alloy of Gold and Silver. I'm not sure how difficult is is
to make these materials and how difficult it is to work with them, has anyone
considered different materials for making Collectible Crypto Coinage I wonder?

From that wiki page there are other alloys listed:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corinthian_bronze It is thought to be an alloy of copper with gold or silver (or both)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hepatizonalso known as black Corinthian bronze, was a highly valuable metal alloy in classical antiquity.
It is thought to be an alloy of copper with the addition of a small proportion of gold and silver
(perhaps as little as 8% of each), mixed and treated to produce a material with a dark purplish patina,
similar to the colour of liver
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PanchalohaPanchaloha is traditionally described as an alloy of gold, silver, copper, zinc, and iron.
