Packaging looks sweet  $2700 for a 2.9 BTC is good enough. What is the 1 BTC premium that people are talking about? 0.9 BTC - you need to look at the coin again, its 2 BTC not 2.9 BTC |

I don't like the look of it. Some old person to be the face of a ground breaking technology?
This looks like another US coin.

Have you never heard the phrase that we stand on the shoulders of giants? This "old person" is one of the fathers of free market economics, upon which the bitcoin protocol is based! I see nothing wrong with honoring him in this way, in fact it is quite fitting. Very few economic philosophers would be worth of such an honor. |

If I was thinking about buying a physical bitcoin I would be more concerned about it being declared illegal than what picture was on it. What's wrong with pictures of humans anyway? Should it be a robot? |

Just ask the good old US government: http://www.wired.com/wiredenterprise/2013/12/casascius/These are great looking coins. Physical bitcoins are not now and never will be illegal. Money laundering is what's illegal and that's what the U.S. department of the Treasury is looking to prevent. Let's stop lying and saying that physical bitcoins have been made illegal. On an unrelated side note, does anyone know how to escape from handcuffs? |

Given the markup on these, I'm more likely to report your website to the department of treasury than I am to make a purchase on your website.

Speaking numismatically your design is very nice. Because of the high relief it would technically be known as a "medal/medallion". The US (but mostly private ones) Mint produces commemorative medals that look much the same. I think its cool to have something that looks so traditional be bitcoin-for a change. The premium is super high though-I imagine primarily to cover your production costs which could not have been cheap. Good luck!

Well they have to get the money back from becoming a licensed money transmitter somehow. Pass it onto the customer |
