I would love to see a Platinum 1BTC coin released. I do not think anyone has dropped a Platinum coin yet.
The problem with Platinum is similar to the use of Gold and Silver, which I have mentioned before:
Essentially, certain countries have very strict restrictions on the import and export of precious metals, such as Gold and Silver. The countries I can think of are USA and China, and possibly many more. These rules affect our exporting (from China), and will affect how your country receives them via customs. This is especially true of the precious metals get made into "coin" form, which could trigger real money mintage and currency issuance issues (regulatory and legal liabilities).
Basically, I foresee this as a whole mess that we really don't want to get into (unless we were our own government and had the banking of a central bank!)
Your thoughts?
Or, hope to get your understanding on this matter... that we're almost never going to be able to make and sell coins made of Gold, Silver, or Platinum.
The only exception would be for us to make them, and you come over here to pick them up in Shanghai. For that, the production run would be really limited, and the costs and premiums could be quite high.
Now, if there's enough interest, anything is possible. If you guys really want it, please help gather people, pre-order, and we can consider doing a custom run for really low volumes, so that everything is pre-sold and paid for, and never listed on the store.
thanks,
Bobby
there is ANOTHER way.....
Coins made in EU/USA and you apply holos and codes HERE....
This would make them easier to sell/move.
caveats would be -
Dyes and stamps for production.
Confirmed order for precious metal coins - possibly paid upfront.
Security while you "create" them?
Storage of coins while waiting to be sent, you'd need a trusted person this side of the world. Not impossible but would require some work unless you have someone in mind already.
