Looks interesting!  Will more currencies be added?  Maybe a DOGE circle?

What material are those in the picture made of? Plastic?

This is a cool idea. I like it. :)

I hired a designer to create the files.  It took me ~3 hours to create the preliminary model, and the designer used my preliminary model to recreate the model and create coin logo vectors, which took another 3-4 hrs.

How much would it cost for a complete redesign, with new colors and newer coins?

Probably $5-10 per coin, and you'll be able to resell copies of your design.  (Files will be published to github)

PM for more information if you're still interested.

If you're short on BTC, you can hire someone to 3D print the toy using the files on the github: http://github.com/smeagol-gollum/TowersOfCryptocurrency

Makexyz accepts bitcoin for 3D prints. (http://makexyz.com)  You can hire someone local to save on shipping, too.

If you write a 50-word review of the toy, you then can receive 6 shares of devcoins, which you can either sell or hold for the future.  (big changes are coming to DVC, like decentralized voting).  6 shares ~ $80
