How are physical coins minted?  (Any good companies you know of)
And how are the holograms made?

Is casascius still on the forums?  I might ask him too.

As far as I know the holograms are purchased in serious bulk, tens to hundreds of thousands, all sourced from China

Yeah he is still on the forum.
Maybe you should see if there are any companies in your area that can make coins for you?

I'm not sure about how the coins are minted, but as for holograms I think a company called Polylabel is your best bet. I'm going to be using their stock holograms for my pendants, if all goes to plan, but they do custom ones too.

Are the physical bitcoins still being sold?  I heard of these a few years ago and I always seem them in stock photos in news stories about bitcoins but I've never seen one irl.
