CNC cost from $1000 to $10,000.  There are also plasma cutters and laser paper cutters.  I read about people making guitars with a cnc machine making $100K a year.

You're raising funds for a CNC machine to make plywood boxes for nickels? < Not sure if serious >

Worse than that I am offering the idea.  hoping someone would take over a CEO as my mechanical skills even with a CNC are bad.   I was trying to think of some business other than lending or mining that would work.  Everybody likes silver and gold, but the real untapped coins are pennies before 1982 and nickels.  In 1970 you could go to Las Vegas and if you went to some casinos, they use real silver dollars.  We are in that era for pennies and nickels now.

This is my idea, I would like 5% of initial shares for coming up with the idea.

The idea is we group buy a CNC machine.  We use the CNC machine to make a wood container to put in nickels in a USPS small box 8 5/8'' x 5 3/8'' x 1 5/8''.  As a dividend everybody gets about a $2 permanent bond for every package sold.  We will sell the item on ebay and the marketplace.  I expect to make custom covers for the nickels, "End the Fed".  A solid piece of pine will be drilled to make the item.  The cover being thin 1/4" pine plywood.  Nickels are worth more than 5 cents face value.  You should be able to put 20 lbs of nickels in a box.

The case can also be used to sell other items, or the boxes themselves as for gifts.  Maybe a piece of foam is put in to sell other items with protection.  The owner might get 45% of the ipo.  We might make quality medium sized boxes for families to ship back and forth across the country during the holidays with custom printing on them.  The owner might use some of his ipo for designers. Large shareholders might have power to use cnc machine remotely for personal use or prototypes.
