What is the deal with physical bitcoins and litecoins that you can buy on the internet and who makes these? I have seen pictures of different looking ones. Are they actually worth something, or are they just for looks? Also do you think they will become collector items, long after everyone adopts bitcoin as a nod to old physical currency, or will they simply be viewed a silly piece of plastic or metal?
You have to believe the issuer. Early Casascius coins are in demand as collector items already, but do not expect much higher than orginal Bitcoin price
