You can get 'empty' physical bitcoins from casascius (the ones from your picture are from casascius as well). You can order them on his website: https://www.casascius.com/. Look for the 'Aluminum "Strength in Numbers" Promo Coin (bag of about 500)'. Shameless self promotion: When you want to print your own labels, see this fork of BitAddress.org which let's you print labels for the coins on a sticker sheet. This is what I am looking for  But a bit on the expensive side, BTC2.55 for them is a bit more than I had hope to pay for this. Some group buy anywhere or some ebay seller so I can buy 10 instead of 500?

I want to own some fake bitcoins. Just so you can show people when you explain the concept of bitcoins. Preferably some nice and shiny ones but not too expensive. Like these but without the value:  Where can I buy some?

Lots of the posts here reminds me of the arguments I used to put forward 10years ago and how people had to show me how wrong I was for each new different argument I made up. Then I learnt and wont have to make a fool out of myself over and over trying to explain why my intuitive/inherited moral should make sense.
I expected that people here would have heard these arguments many times before on other forums before they ended up here, guess I was wrong...

A while back tons of Austrians were very vocal that Bitcoin would fail because it was not backed by any precious metal. I think some Austrians got a bit to attached to their theories, AE is supposed to be praxeological. Unfortunatly very few national economists are Austrians, why bite the hands that feeds you. The AEs are usually found in the private sector, which wants to keep are their profits. Bitcoin is a cool experiment and hopefully it can settle quite a few weird arguments many respected economists have put forward. I have a dream that they will have to answear for their errors, but we all know that will never happen

EDIT: 109$ on Gox, 105$ on Bitstamp
I thought about this for a moment. Can we assume that europeans are not buying as much as the rest of the world at the moment? Maybe even selling? Maybe we have a lot mot bitcoins moving to Asia, US or some other area and less is moving to Europe?

This forum should have some donation options so you can give one satoshi to posts you like. Like reddit does it.

nice pic....
Nice chart. Bear in mind that the price is in the same ballpark as the actual bitcoin usage. It would be powerful to see this chart divided by the "# of users" or some other usage metric. If the marketcap is $50k per user, it is much less interesting to invest than if market cap is $500 per user. In the Nasdaq bubble, mobile operators saw bubble valuations of $20k per user, which of course could not hold. Dollar now has $2000 per person in the world valuation, bubble or not. And these are exactly the numbers we don't have and do need to conclude if a 100 dollar coin is cheap or expensive  If all the world uses bitcoin exactly as much as they use gold now, 1 bitcoin will be valued at $300,000. You mean that central banks would lock away bitcoins in big vaults and people would wear bitcoins around our necks? Then the number is closer to 900k right?

We should be moving up. I don't see any founded reasons why we are not. (disregarding past performance) Either we make this a self-fulfilling prophecy or we move on. We didn't have any bad news, economy is (slowly)growing beyond SR and ASIC and we have prospect VC's joining the game. All this sounds bullish to me! However people are afraid to move on because they look back at past performance factoring out new parameters; they expect the capitulation of sub 50 coins. There has been no indicators that we need to go there. clearly people support 120 range. (drop due to fear of still being in bubble deflation) clearly support 100 range we have been going sideways for long...(in BTC world). Why no move upwards? fear of still being in the bubble. If we all accept 100 being the new low we can go up again. No one knows if a 100 is cheap or expensive (except for the bears, everything above 3 is...) So if anyone has good reason why we need to drop further without playing the previous bubble as an example or any bubble for that matter I would gladly hear it. Who says we are bubbling anyway? no parabolic growth going on lately. We corrected enough to sustain price. 180 might be a good price but no one knows...
Yeah, this has been what I am thinking. Everything tells me bitcoin should be going up. But the market clearly does not believe this. So I guess either the market knows something I don't or this is one of the best investment opportunities I will ever get. Fun times ahead, no matter what happens I can always tell my grandchildren about it

The dollar is too volatile to be useful for comparing BTC:s value, this chart says it all:
