Doesn't have a great ring to it.

Calling each coin a "Newton" would be better.

SIN coin might upset certain people (or excite others). I like the fact its to be released on Sir Isaac's birthday, though as Master of the Royal Mint, he may have had a rather dim view of this enterprise (renown for ordering the execution of forgers).

During Newton's lifetime, two calendars were in use in Europe: the Julian ("Old Style") calendar in protestant and Orthodox regions, including Britain; and the Gregorian ("New Style") calendar in Roman Catholic Europe. At Newton's birth, Gregorian dates were ten days ahead of Julian dates: thus his birth is recorded as taking place on 25 December 1642 Old Style, but can be converted to a New Style (modern) date of 4 January 1643. By the time of his death, the difference between the calendars had increased to eleven days: moreover, he died in the period after the start of the New Style year on 1 January, but before that of the Old Style new year on 25 March. His death occurred on 20 March 1726 according to the Old Style calendar, but the year is usually adjusted to 1727. A full conversion to New Style gives the date 31 March 1727.

The first realease of the source code it will be released the 4 of January.

For the logo do Isaac Newton sitting under a tree with an apple hitting him in the head (or munching on an apple)

Then somehow tie in Applecoin maybe, like maybe make one of the two the primary coin on an exchange, the coin in which all others are priced, starting with either apples/newtons or newtons/apples...
