Mike doesn't fill small orders. You can buy from resellers, though.

You can get the 0.5 BTC coins here quickly: https://www.bitmit.net/en/item/36845-2013-0-5-btc-casascius-physical-bitcoin
There are usually people selling 1 BTC coins here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=51.0

Hello All,

This is Theron (real name) with the Life On Bitcoin documentary film project. It is a documentary about bitcoin and about a couple who have agreed to live for 90 days on BTC. Our film just funded on Kickstarter late last week on July 12th, and we raised almost $73,000 in fiat currency. We've also raised about 30 BTC, and we are continuing to accept bitcoin contributions on our website, as the documentary film makers whom we have retained are going to cost more than $115,000 to get the movie we want. You can search "life on bitcoin" on Google or Kickstarter and find out a lot more about it if you want. We have been in some major press outlets.

I'm going to be getting more active in the forums to answer people's questions, and raise awareness about our project.

However, right now, I have a bit of an emergency need. Austin and Beccy, the couple which stars in the documentary are currently on their honeymoon. They fly back in less than 10 days, and I need to get some Casascius Coins for the opening scene. When they fly back, all of their cash, credit cards, etc are going to be confiscated at the airport, and we want them to use Casascius Coins to get home. Basically, they are going to need to find someone or a taxi service who will accept the coin or coins and give them a ride.

I need to purchase 2 Casascius Coins in the 1 BTC denomination and 2 in the 1/2 BTC denomination. These need to be in new condition pre-loaded with the holograms unpeeled.

I have tried to contact Mike Caldwell with Casascius directly, but he must be on vacation or something as he is not returning emails or facebook messages. I actually met him at the Salt Lake City Bitcoin Meetup a couple of weeks ago, but I did not get a chance to talk to him about this before he left. 

I would like to buy these from someone in the United States, and ship them FedEx. I have the FedEx account. I'm willing to pay a good premium for the coins. Alternately, if you want to donate them to the film. I'm sure I can arrange an interview on our vlog or some way to compensate and promote your business. If you have the coins to sell, I want to use a trusted escrow to make the deal. I also want to buy them from a trusted bitcointalk forum member. Any recommendations would be great!

I need this to happen fast. Time is of the essence. Please reply or message me if you can help.
