Helllllooooo all!
I can't believe it! The day has finally arrived! It's been a long time coming, but I am both humbled and delighted to introduce the VaultBar.
This started off as a hobby that soon turned into an actual project which has come to fruition with thanks to a number of members on and off of this forum. Without their help, input and support, I'd have long given up on this project given the multiple failures and setbacks endured throughout.
But, that's not important. Because. Today. It. Is. Ready. And I'm absolutely thrilled!;D

So enough blabber, Here are the deets you want:

Specifications:
Bar dimensions: 5.7 x 10 x 0.8 (cm)
Bar weight: 270g
Material: 24k gold plated alloy

Artwork (Reverse and Obverse): Both sides are similar with subtle changes. The bar features a detailed border around the edges and corners directing the focus of attention to the centre of the image. They are the curtains that set the stage, inviting you to one of the greatest match-ups you have/will ever see. On one side you have the mighty BTC landing a knockout blow to the inferior USD whilst the ETH takes on the EUR in a similar duel.
The crowd can be seen beneath the stage cheering the fighters on whilst the match lineup and stats are shown for each fighter.  
The bottom of the bar reads: PLACE YOUR BETS - inviting you to join in on the fun, sit back and watch as history is written.

Hologram: The hologram features an outer border with a number of gears and mechanisms representing security. Around the window that displays the key is a border that represents the digital nature and expanding network of digital currencies. When light catches the hologram from the right angle, you will also be able to make out the words VaultBar with some stacked bars on each side of it.

Details:
Price: $75 $60
Packaging: Foam bag in padded envelope
Holograms: 6 (per bar)
Mintage: Less than 150 (exact number TBC)
Payment: BTC, ETH, LTC, XMR and VIA
Please PM for orders.

Shipping:
Shipping is from the UK.
Shipping costs depend on quantity and location.
For US orders, shipping will be handled by MJ (minerjones) who will calculate individual shipping costs. This will be much more cost-effective (cheaper) for those living across the pond. - After an order is placed, I will ship the bars to MJ who will arrange domestic delivery.
For UK and EU delivery details, please PM for a quote.

Escrow accepted at buyer's cost.

Please note that due to the nature of the bar (design) and the extent of the manufacturing process involved; no 2 bars are identical. All have some differences in finish/plating. I have looked at each bar individually and removed those that aren't of a high enough standard given the manufacturing process involved. Small bumps/creases are to be expected and add character. This bar is both a piece of art and a showpiece. Whilst some of you may not like to get it grubby/smudged with fingerprints, others would be happy to have this lying on their desk as a conversational piece. In either case, I want you to make it your bar, to enjoy it, and to let it tell its own (and your) story.

Pm sent.  Really, really cool looking bar, I love the artwork!  I hope I can get one! 

I know that you can't mention every country for shipping but can us Canadians "ride the coat tails of our American cousins" (like we usually do LOL) for shipping?

Looking good without a several-dozen-fold margin on production cost. It would be nice to have a silver (non gold plated) option too.

-snip-
Snowman, absolutely buy some for us.

I did not. I experimented with numbering with the sampling but I felt that it looked tacky so opted against it. Having been said, there were 150 made but a number of them are being held back due to their quality. I’m yet to decide what to do with them but I am considering hammering them into pancakes  Cheesy

The thought crossed my mind.
I think these would look nice in silver too. However, even if it were to happen, it won't happen before a) these sell out or b) enough people commit to a small run for them as each runs is costly.

Haha. Now if only I could find a hydraulic press lying around. I have some power tools here which may be a more reasonable resort. Either way, I'll document the destruction and post it on here Smiley
I'm contemplating ordering some chemicals and sprays to have fun with different rustic finishes (patina and the like).

Here’s a quick assembly video. Might be worthwhile to reshoot one in the future but this should do in the meantime. https://youtu.be/Bdx9nVDK4r4
Still have plenty of bars available for sale.

Could you please share the "squares" template (or at least indicate the size of each square), in order to create the keys and print them in the appropriate size?
