I didn't like any of the current physical Bitcoin designs, so I made my own that fit my personality. Here's a sneak peak of my own personal Retro 8Bit-coin! They are gold plated. Soon they will be loaded with .25 BTC each :)

My DSLR camera charger is currently missing so I apologize for the potato quality photo. When I find it I will post some more shots.

Currently not for sale, sorry!

Not currently for sale, sorry. Just wanted to share with fellow vidya game geeks.

This version has brass metal on the inside plus gold plated. :)

Thank you. It was just for fun.

If there's enough interest, I may consider making some more. For now these are just for my personal stash and to help get some friends involved in the revolution. :D

I'm sure there will be interest because that is the style of most Bitcoin people I think.

You know, I just thought of something.  I was going to print out a bunch of paper wallets for my friends and load them with .02 BTC or something.  But it ended up being a nightmare.  It was so much work just getting them made, printed, and loaded.  Waiting, checking, blah blah blah.   I'm the guy who tells everyone to print paper wallets and hand them out to people to get them interested in Bitcoin.  I believe its an ingenious way to get people involved.   But it was too much of a pain in the ass. 

I would really be interested in a bunch of super cheap physical bitcoins that are loaded with maybe $5 or something on them, so I can buy like 30 or 40 of them, and just give them to friends and family.  All the people making physical coins are selling them for crazy dollar amounts.   But a bitcoin could be a piece of cardboard.  These coins don't need to be expensive, elaborate, or even gold plated.  Maybe this is a business idea for someone.  Maybe for the original poster.  If you marketed them as "Spread the Word" coins or "Spread the Wealth" Bitcoins .. always in super small denominations ... for the purpose of getting friends and family involved in Bitcoin ... I bet you'd have a seller on your hands. 

Anyone interested or am I going to have to do this lol

I wouldn't mind doing this, but production costs, mould fees, shipping fees and gas drop offs, project time, and time spent on preparing each individual coin still needs to be covered. This is why peeps have a markup. Time is finate and needs to be worth setting aside for other than just for fun.

/end enlightenment :)
