Gorgeous photography, wttbs! Super cool! (I'm so very jealous of your photography skills.) Thank you for sharing.
PS -- We'd be very proud to use some of those images on our website or social media accounts, with your permission, of course.
They are really awesome pennies, so shiny, I love them too!
Owlcatz, that's great news! I do that too! I used to work at a medium-sized state university, and I'd leave them all over campus. I'd drop them in parking lots, water puddles (they shine great underwater), public wishing fountains, geocaches, you name it! One of my favorites was to leave them in the change return of soda machines!
In fact, since our first website went live on the afternoon of December 31, 2014, we've always stated on at least one of its pages (as well as on our packaging) that these coins are small (at the time, almost all coins were 39mm) and inexpensive partially in order to promote the easy carrying of a few in your pocket to share with friends, strangers, or whomever you'd meet throughout the day. They were originally meant to give away in order to help promote bitcoin and the blockchain technology.
I still remember the very first coin I left in public. It was on the arm of the bench outside the Spartanburg (SC) Outback restaurant on the early evening of December 31, 2014. And the Busch Gardens of Tampa (Florida) has a few in its wishing fountain each summer.
I tell you, nothing makes me smile as big as hearing stories of people leaving the coins in strange places for people to find.
Thank you for sharing the photos and ideas, guys! I look forward to more!
Regards,
Chris
