I don't see a gold coin listed but I'll bet the gold plated BTC25 coin would work.

I already have some of your aluminum coins from a group buy but would like something more substantial to carry around to show friends. I know that silver coins (as opposed to sterling silver) tarnish (develop patina) pretty significantly. In your opinion which Casascius bitcoin will stay the shiniest the longest when exposed to air?

Please share you customs experience with us. You probably have other experience importing silver to germany... can you share it?

Mike,
I was initially not going to re-sell these because of the hefty premium. But demand is there and customer is king, so we (jalaman and I) will probably do pre-orders.
Since import VAT tax of 19% will have to be payed by us on import (we will get it back later) it would greatly simplify things at customs if it was possible to do the following.
(Background: customs officials have to value the product coming in and tax it. On my last import of brass coins I had a really hard time explaining no bitcoins were yet loaded (the lady even looked up the bitcoin exchange rate and wanted me to pay 19% based on that valuation. your info card helped a lot!!!) and arguing the value of the brass coins. The customs lady kept asking for a bill or payment receipt. The customs form you filled out isn't really a reliable source for them at all (as you could put anything there)).
Split the payment in 2 parts:
In addition it would be great if we could do "deferred loading" (load only when coin is in the hands of end-customer) to ease customs hassle and potential VAT to be payed by end-customer.
I hope you can consider this.

Split the payment in 2 parts:
- 1 for the silver value plus a slight premium. Use bitpay or paypal for this part so I end up with a bill stating USD amount payed. State that same amount as value in the customs declaration.
- 1 for the BTC to be loaded plus the remainder of the premium. Depending on wether we do this using our company, we'd also need a bill with USD amount for this part.

Do you know how many 0.1 you will have in a roll?

these look fantastic, also placed my order.
wondering when the silver spot hunters will appear to discuss the current troy ounce cost.

Just made an order.
Mike, do your new coins all come individually packaged in air-tight capsules?

I'll send the one-ounce singles in airtites.
The half ounce singles, I will have to either get some airtites or rings, or make some rings (my laser machine can probably make them...done it before)
Thanks for your order BTW, and I'll definitely be ordering some of yours. (It'll be the only Litecoins I'll probably own)
I have the rings. Just ship them and the air-tights separately. I can assemble them. Thanks.
As far as you owning some litecoins, eh, i figured it was a matter of time. =)

Ooh very nice! Do you happen to have any pictures of the Aluminum "Strength in Numbers" Promo Coin (bag of about 500)?
June 28, 2013, 12:54:54 AM
Put it in a clear air-tight plastic capsule.
Doesn't quite have the same sound as silver on silver. I will probably just have to "launder" some bitcoins off the silver and into my offline wallet on the coins I want to tinker with.

These look so great I had to order a roll as well. I'll case them up individually and send the best ones off to be graded.

Any way to buy the 1 ounce silver as blanks?
I am addicted to carrying some silver around in my pocket every day and the holograms won't last.

The 1 btc looks great! I guess I'll have to wait for someone to buy a roll and resell them in smaller quantities...Thanks for making such a cool product man. 
I am temporarily offering them as singles.
