Why are you going with laser printing vs. a poker chip maker? Isn't it more expensive going 3d? I am curious, because I too am from the U.S. I like the Satori. I paid someone from Europe for a couple of the Satoris and they feel really nice! Good luck with your project, killyou72

Can you read the text below the photo of the .25 that says there is a decimal error
I was thinking these coins would be the final design. But I am up open to talking about it. I was also thinking the hologram could have the .025 BTC on it.

Why aren't you changing the design so there is no error? Having an error on purpose is not cool. Casascius error coins were more valuable only because they were a genuine mistake.

Well the error was in the draft picture... the physical plastic coin with the 7 in the middle I have about 10 of them right now. I am looking into labels now, I am definitely going to be applying a circular label on one side of the coin that has a cool design on it. Going to try to find the best labels I can and I will include a DYI hologram

OK, so like Miffman said, you are purposely making a decimal error? And, making it look VERY deceptive. Mmmk... I don't know how you're going to implement this with your current printed coin anyhow. But, good luck! I'm out! Please remove my name from the list. I will no longer be buying.

This is just my opinion, feel free to take it as you wish. These are not worth $10 each, and everyone knows that. You are going to have a lot of unhappy people soon. You should have really got a few produced, so people could see exactly what they were buying, before you started taking payment for these "coins". As mj has pointed out, these seem very rough, I do not expect a hologram to even stick on them. He also raises some other good points, so I won't bother repeating them.. I'm sorry, but imo, these are terrible ![Sad](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/sad.gif) I am glad I didn't get involved. Please understand that this is NOT a jab at you personally, but I would be severely pissed if I spent $10 each on these. Thanks

I'm going to withdraw from my purchase.
I appreciate the effort you have put in but these, as they are at the moment, do not reach our desired quality standards for retail or resale to a consumer market. They just won't stand up, sorry.
If you can resolve the issues of finish and overall quality I'll re order.
Thanks and good luck

I had sent a PM to the OP that I changed my mind on the reservation of the 50 coins. Initially I wanted to give these away for my upcoming autographed Encyclopedia project, but I had envisioned poker chip coins in my brain, even though the OP mentioned they would be 3D printed.
I would much prefer a poker chip type coin like Satori. What I've seen of 3D printing, it doesn't have that level of quality that's expected.

Thanks I see, the price actually goes down to $5 a coin I failed to mention that. The hologram would stick to the back. I have already messed around with stickers and the like If I go with poker chips there is no indenting to put the private key. That's why I think it would be better to just print a nice design

You are of course right about the indent and that's something that, if the design is of a high enough standard and the chips of good quality I think would be acceptable. The alternate view would be to get them "routed" so a small indent is created there, but as with all things, add a process and you're adding cost. Lots to research and time to spend... Numbering was also another issue with the choice being "on holo" etching or "on chip", but then materials plays its part in that drama too.... As a result of our previous chat I did actually follow up with some manufacturers and holo makers.... it was an interesting pursuit and one that may yet yield dividends. ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif) Viz
