These don't even look like they have anything to do with Halloween, which is actually quite perfect. Cuz then, I can justify ordering 500. Then I can start taking them EVERYWHERE. Fifteen cents is exactly what I need to be able to drop 10 of them in the lunch room every week  Good stocking stuffers, too! Getting excited! I will order later this week and place confirmation here. I'll see if others want to get in on my order with me. Awesome! |

GoCandy.com added the artwork to their website under the category "Mike Caldwell" so it can be ordered directly! I asked them to rename it to "Bitcoin", noting that it's likely to result in ongoing orders rather than just a one-time burst. UPDATE: done I'm wondering what else might be a popular design that others might be interested in ordering. Any suggestions? I thought "YOU ASKED FOR CHANGE, WE GAVE YOU COINS" might be a good one. ("CHANGE" written in Gotham font, which looks like how it is used in Obama campaign) Update:  |
Companies claiming they got hacked and lost your coins sounds like fraud so perfect it could be called fashionable. I never believe them. If I ever experience the misfortune of a real intrusion, I declare I have been honest about the way I have managed the keys in Casascius Coins. I maintain no ability to recover or reproduce the keys, not even under limitless duress or total intrusion. Remember that trusting strangers with your coins without any recourse is, as a matter of principle, not a best practice. Don't keep coins online. Use paper or hardware wallets instead.

What about backing them with bitcoin? Just like a real Casascius coin. Maybe 1 Satoshi?

These are so cool Too bad they don't have dark chocolate though. Suggestion for designs: Make a design with the Ƀ logo instead of the other one. I know it doesn't match your coins, but still |

I think you just figured out how to market bitcoins to women.  |
Soon you will be dancing face-to-face / With the limits of ambition and the scars of the marketplace / Welcome to the land of flame and fizz / Where you will learn that packaging is all that heaven is

Too bad they don't have dark chocolate though.
I swear they did - it was on the same menu where you drop down to choose the foil color - which currently has "Gold (Milk)", "Silver (Milk)"... there were options of "Gold (Dark)" and "Gold (Mint)" but they aren't there anymore. Maybe they're out. Make a design with the Ƀ logo instead of the other one. I know it doesn't match your coins, but still Will anyone order it? If you would order this, please post. If more than a few people will order it, I'd submit it and add it. |

We just ordered 1000 coins Looking forward to handing them out to customers, partners, investors, etc. (Plus we will probably take some home to hand out to trick-or-treaters too!) Thanks for the awesome design work you did on this Mike! I love that they added a "Bitcoin" section |

I would like to order 200 dark chocolate coins, the Ƀ logo being preferred (but BTC is acceptable) . Please send me a PM with a payment address if you're still doing these group orders for <500 coins. |

just placed my order for 500 gold chocolate coins. I ordered 36 bags of 12 each. This works out to selling each bag for $2.50 (or $5 for 24 coins) which is what most of my friends are in for.
Some people said they'll take 4 bags for $10 in case you're looking for ways to market it to your friends.
looking forward to them!

Very nice ! I'm kinda broke these days/month, but too much of a good idea ! I want to buy 500 but :
Shipping Method
This is currently the only shipping method available to use on this order.
United Parcel Service (1 x 5lbs)
Worldwide Expedited $102.75
Canada Standard $37.81
37.81$ for shipping ? and watch out for custom fees charged upon reception of the order, often get to 50%+ of the value !
So 500 ChocoCoin for 75$ + 37.81$ + (average custom fees 30% = 22.50) = 135.31 / 500 = 0.27 each !!!
this is ridiculous !
again, I'll skip purchasing in USA, seems like USA officials dont want Canadian to buy their stuff..
I hate those customer flees, eh, sorry, custom fees ! thanks NAFTA !

You could just find someone to make the coins in Canada, Canadian chocolate is pretty good. Clip the art out of the thread.

I just ordered 100 from you, along with some roll-your-own coins and 10 of the real ones. Looking forward to my hoard. NEED MOAR COINZ!  |
I'm selling great Minion Games like The Manhattan Project, Kingdom of Solomon and Venture Forth at 4% off retail starting June 2012. PM me or go to my thread in the Marketplace if you're interested. For Settlers/Dominion/Carcassone etc., I do email gift cards on Amazon for a 5% fee. PM if you're interested. |

Indeed, they told me that worldwide shipping would be so expensive that it wouldn't be worth it. So I won't be buying any coins with the Ƀ design  |

I got my order on Monday. The chocolate is good, and so is the print quality.
They came in a cooler with gel packs to keep them from melting. I suspect that accounts for a big part of the shipping cost.

I routinely ignore posters with paid advertising in their sigs. You should too.
