All 30 coins arrived today, they look great! (As expected)
Will be ordering more on my next cash-out. The individual cases are a nice touch.

Hi. I ordered some a week ago, postage to the UK and was wondering what the estimated postage time would be.
Let me know!
Dougie.

Your order shipped on 4/22 - and should take between 10 -14 days for delivery. The coins are heavy and I am not charging much for them so I ship with basic international post
You should be receiving them shortly.

Sent a PM, please let me know if I am not late to the offer.
Making arrangements to put all my funds into one location for my offer. (A location that is acceptable for you. 
)
EDIT: Arrangements made, just need to hear that coins are left, and the value in (USD), for my order.
Should be all set to go in an hour or two. Banks are snail-slow on Sunday... online banks... real banks are not open. 
(It should be illegal to "not be open", if you are a bank. Should be a federal law, "owners of currency will have unrestricted full access to their funds, at all times. In a FDIC ensured bank."... And they wonder why people don't like using banks! Economy-fail... They dug their own grave, and bitcoin will seal it, tap new screws, super-glue it, set it under cement, drown it in the ocean, and laugh at them! )

Running low on 5B coins! Lets clean these last coins out!

I don't think its necessary to make one side flat in order to make it bitcoin-loadable. I don't know how you plan on doing it, but just generate a QR code of the private key, size it accordingly, apply it so the blank side of the QR code is against the hologram and the inked side will be against the coin. The hologram should be able to handle a slight contour. Just my two cents-I don't want you to ruin one of your coins if trying to make it flat doesn't work out!
Thanks for your input. The answer for flatening the one side of the coin is sandpaper, hours of rubbing it on sandpaper. Got the idea from this: http://www.m.haly.dsl.pipex.com/UFO_Photo/lap_CPU.jpg
Though, i will have to nickel (and/or gold plate) them on that side again. The biggest problem that i found is the damn hologram-stickers.
I will sacrifice one of those coins when they come, to see how it turns out. If i fail they will be just be a nice addition to my collection
I'd guess it would be that the adhesive tends to lift plate off of the base metal.

I received one of these 1btc coins long ago in a give away. 
I just missed out getting the 5btc token in the give away. I posted some pictures of the 1btc token I received, it looks great.

Yes that's pretty accurate, but hopefully some new products will be more successful
Why didn't you make fundable coins like the Casascius physical bitcoins? Every coin would have a Bitcoin address and a private key hidden inside and then they would be really backed up by real bitcoins like the Casascius coins.
They look awesome regardless!
They look awesome regardless!
If i understood his intention was to be something like a bank. Whoever had those coins would actually hold the real value(without having the priv key) of those coins to trade with other people or return to him for the actual coin value. Erm, i think thats why each coin in the pics have a different code on them (just like usd's or euros bills)
I think he didnt chase it much for them to succeed and now selling them as is to cover his costs for making them.
That said i may have misunderstood their point, though im gonna try to make the back side flat (the side that says "new orleans") of the coins i ordered, and print out private keys for each to stick there, just like casascius ones. If i succeed you will see a thread popping up in here in a few days
