This is a great concept! Except the price is pretty high :?

I was thinking that you could add a feature, maybe turn each one of those coin rings into a wallet?

- Have a hidden slot?
- Have room for qr code?

I mean it be a toy + act as a small wallet (NOT FOR LARGE FUNDS) but I think it be a great (additional) purpose. You could make each 3-D print custom and have the option to include two QR codes (one public, one private) and have those codes printed onto each of the ring.

Factoring in my time, development costs, and hiring a designer and printer, as well as the uniqueness of the toy it is justified.  Maybe we can work out a discount, though...  ;)

That would be a bit complex and take some time to develop, but as the model is open source, maybe you can!  :)
