Count me in for at least one of these coins, assuming the price doesn't knock me off my seat. Looking forward to seeing what you've cooked up and reading the book. Good job working on these for so long.

Is your first coin going to be a FUNDED BTC version? Can you tell us what it's composition will be?

This sounds great. I'm definitely looking forward to both the book and the coin! As a newbie your previous book/guide was priceless for me. Best of luck getting it finished. I'll be tuned to this thread awaiting further details!

Great teaser! When I saw "NEW BOOK", I thought maybe it was a new revision to you Enclyopedia. But your book sounds very intriguing and I will definitely be buying one.
Cheers,
Jeff
BTW did you get my PM to you from me a week or two ago?

I'm a noobie here but even I've heard of your work. Should we be going somewhere off forums to buy the coin/new book? Or will sales be held here?

Wow, I use your encyclopaedia constantly and am VERY excited about this information. Really looking forward to the new book and the coins.....well. It’s amazing looking back through your posts , you have really seen/ handled some truly great coins . Will you be doing a book launch when book is finished ? Getting ahead of myself !

Many have asked me when I'll release a coin.
I came close two years ago, but it turned out that the highly unique design was outside of the mint's capability.
I felt strongly that if I'm to release a coin, then it would need to be something special.
That coin has now arrived.
This sale also marks my first public announcement of a project I'm currently working on; a new book:
21 Stories: A Decade in Bitcoin
The book will have 21 chapters, with each looking at the blockchain ecosystem & phenomenon from an entirely different angle.
The aim is to unite all these angles into one cohesive piece. One of these chapters is about crypto art, and physical coins are of course included!
The book is 25%-33% done.
I present to you the Infinity Coin, produced by the Physical Bitcoin (PB) Mint.
PB Mint is a collaboration between me and a partner who has access to cutting edge hologram technology.
100 limited edition.
Shipping starts next week. Teaser video coming shortly. Watch this thread!

I present to you the Infinity Bitcoin, produced by the Physical Bitcoin (PB) Mint.
PB Mint is a collaboration between me and a partner who has access to cutting edge hologram technology.
100 limited edition (plus 10 'demo coins' made)
Background:
Basically, I found that there are plenty of coins with a traditional hologram out there, and this piece is meant to be more conceptual than useful. It's not really made to fit into the mold of the existing & established market, but rather to challenge and parody it by taking the very basic elements (B, year/mint/very generic circuit board/private key) and combining them into something unique. Naturally, not everyone will like that.
Casascius coins were created to make blockchain/cryptocurrency feel like normal money.
This coin was created to make 'normal money' feel like blockchain/cryptocurrency.
The INFINITY hologram symbolizes how blockchain goes on forever, is interconnected, and is mindboggling , difficult to comprehend, and virtually impossible to falsify.
It is then this interconnected jumble of never-ending, hard-to-understand connections that both 'protect' and 'conceal' value, with both the silver (physical) and private key (digital) representing that concept of value. This value is then encased between 2 sets of this 'protective layer'.
Instead of an image, this coin attempts to convey a concept. Most people who display a coin consider the hologram 'secondary' and display only the main 'image'. This is impossible with this coin since the hologram IS the image; the focus is the concept of the blockchain/tech, not the concept of coins/money.
Casascius coins were primarily coins; the hologram was added as a 'necessary' security feature to the coin.
This 'coin' is built around the hologram; the coin was added as a 'necessary' platform to host and affix it.
