just curious, did you get these made from the same people that make the dubloons?
edit: these coins are stunningly beautiful
I love the reference to New Orleans Mardi Gras dubloons. For those of you who are not familiar, during Mardi Gras parades every year, the people riding the parade floats will throw out lots of stuff (beads, stuffed animals, toys, and dubloons). The dubloons are souvenir coins marking the parade occasion. I have a large collection of them in fact. The dubloons are usually stamped out of thick aluminum, our coins were made in a real coin press mint with real metal. I have some photos for comparison, but I hope for future coin products to be able to feature some of the designs and culture of new orleans in our designs!   |

Order received! Thanks very much. A neat conversation starter for BTC. (And perhaps lessons in the limitations of trying to make them physical)

Hey there! How exactly does this work? Do these have the actual value on them you paid for them, are the coins just for show? I like them eitherhow and will most likely buy them! =).

These coins have no value, they are just for show. |

These coins have no value, they are just for show. Ah, alright. I'll probably buy some then! But what coins are which? I see many different kinds on the pictures, or are they back and front? |

Why didn't you make fundable coins like the Casascius physical bitcoins? Every coin would have a Bitcoin address and a private key hidden inside and then they would be really backed up by real bitcoins like the Casascius coins. They look awesome regardless! |

If i understood his intention was to be something like a bank. Whoever had those coins would actually hold the real value(without having the priv key) of those coins to trade with other people or return to him for the actual coin value. Erm, i think thats why each coin in the pics have a different code on them (just like usd's or euros bills) I think he didnt chase it much for them to succeed and now selling them as is to cover his costs for making them. That said i may have misunderstood their point, though im gonna try to make the back side flat (the side that says "new orleans") of the coins i ordered, and print out private keys for each to stick there, just like casascius ones. If i succeed you will see a thread popping up in here in a few days  |

Yes that's pretty accurate, but hopefully some new products will be more successful Why didn't you make fundable coins like the Casascius physical bitcoins?

If i succeed you will see a thread popping up in here in a few days I don't think its necessary to make one side flat in order to make it bitcoin-loadable. I don't know how you plan on doing it, but just generate a QR code of the private key, size it accordingly, apply it so the blank side of the QR code is against the hologram and the inked side will be against the coin. The hologram should be able to handle a slight contour. Just my two cents-I don't want you to ruin one of your coins if trying to make it flat doesn't work out! |
