theres a private key on the coin and you can take that and import it like usual.

A private key on a piece of paper is placed behind a tamper proof holo.  A buyer peels the holo sticker when redeeming and imports into a client like blockchain.info and others.  The public address may optionally be visible on the outside or just on a card for the buyer to reference.

Look at Casaacius or Lealana coins as examples.  There are many similar coins out there in the Goods subforum.

Shouldn't be more than 5 mintues of youtube. I forget the commands of the top of my head.  I have them written down, although I am sure someone could just edit this and fill them in for you.
