Title: Buy solid physical gold plated bitcoin from shapeways
Post by: vx609e on August 19, 2011, 01:14:33 PM
Hi,

I made a physical bitcoin design and it's now available to purchase on shapeways.

Default material is steel gold plated but if you want to get it cheaper, there're plenty of other materials to choose from (like plastic).

The coin is 26.5mm x 26.5mm x 4mm. Shipping is free on shapeways.

It looks delicious!

Seriously, the texture on the edge makes it seem like cheese.

Unfortunately, shapeways.com does not offer Tungsten at the moment. But there is silver, stainless steel, alumide, glass and a bunch of plastics.

The fed used all the tungsten and coated them with gold paint at fort knox. It would be ironic if you could get tungsten gold bitcoins too.
