Hi All, There seems to be a big emphasis on Gold, Silver, Coppper and Brass used in the making of collectible crypto coins, which is all good. I have seen coins listed here before in Aluminium , Stainless Steel, Platinum I think and Bronze I think but I was wondering lately what other types of materials or even metal alloy's would be cool and different to produce collectible coins in? My first thought went to Jade, and I havent seen anything in Jade with a Bitcoin theme, how cool would that be be create a Satoshi coin from a distinctly oriental material? http://numismatics.org/collection/1937.179.19388![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fblogger.googleusercontent.com%2Fimg%2Fb%2FR29vZ2xl%2FAVvXsEhEtSXpuKevRntlDpOCCfUr5OrZzv1pntwnjsxXhPAU1Ij-URxpUpWvCzIGZmrFWkK8ns0iQ_trPsCdsoIoXigkCwu1Mm-gaPDXfqV0ezB8XTShNQjMNWG7cOcrBjuzjUEvHj7TKd627dw9vHKsJDvr17vbS2tCvDma-ZA1Xk626gtj8PCeZLLEuJy6%2Fs320%2F01.png&t=665&c=Uj4eH0XxFrmOFg) As regards metal alloys there are many which have been used in ancient coinage like Electrum which is an alloy of Gold and Silver. I'm not sure how difficult is is to make these materials and how difficult it is to work with them, has anyone considered different materials for making Collectible Crypto Coinage I wonder? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrum#Early_coinage![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fupload.wikimedia.org%2Fwikipedia%2Fcommons%2F8%2F8e%2FEphesos_620-600_BC_FANEOS.jpg&t=665&c=lPtpZQIk12y0PA) From that wiki page there are other alloys listed: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corinthian_bronze It is thought to be an alloy of copper with gold or silver (or both) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hepatizonalso known as black Corinthian bronze, was a highly valuable metal alloy in classical antiquity. It is thought to be an alloy of copper with the addition of a small proportion of gold and silver (perhaps as little as 8% of each), mixed and treated to produce a material with a dark purplish patina, similar to the colour of liver https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PanchalohaPanchaloha is traditionally described as an alloy of gold, silver, copper, zinc, and iron.

I´m not sure how realistic it would be but I have always been fascinated with wooden coins. A well done wooden coin would be extremely pretty. Most likely a pain to produce in large quantities though.

Nice creativity and personally I’ve always had a fondness for Jade - hope you can come up with something workable. Problem with anything like this , would be that they any coin produced would pretty much have to be hand made and unique , ie , no cast etc and thus there would be a premium price . Still love this idea though ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) Always liked wood too as a material, but it’s been done a few times - just ask Theymos and TeeGUMES ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

There are a lot of cool materials suitable for making coins, but interesting alloy blanks aren't widely available to mints. Electrum like you brought up is a workable enough material but its just not commercially available. Specialty materials could be done, but it just would have to be very small batches by artisans rather than mint struck coins. I do a lot of metalwork myself and I end up having to alloy everything myself because even though some alloys are just vastly superior in all regards to what we'd consider the standard, they just aren't vanilla enough to be commercially worth it for big companies to change their ways.
The blanking process requires ingots of the metal be poured, the metal is then rolled into sheets of a uniform thickness and cut out with dies into blanks. If the alloy doesn't have machinable properties like most old alloys that were simply cast and hammer struck, they'll never be available for people to make coins from.

@SaltySpitoon, yea I realise working with metals is very specialised, I guess artisan metalworkers would be able to produce one of or small batch pieces from different and obscure metals.

@SaltySpitoon, yea I realise working with metals is very specialised, I guess artisan metalworkers would be able to produce one of or small batch pieces from different and obscure metals. There have been other Amber coins made before such as the one pictured below. I have always wanted to see if it was possible if a pure Ruthenium coin could be made. Below is a photo of ruthenium plated silver coins that I obtained a few years ago. @Salty - we spoke about this topic a few times over the years. I think you said ruthenium would be too hard to make coins out of? Maybe I’m mistaken. I’ve always entertained the idea of making coins out of glass. One of my good buddies growing up is a glass maker. He actually just sent me the instagram page to his buddy who now works in his shop who makes a bit more advanced glass stuff and said I should run my glass btc coin idea by him, so I may open that can of worms up again. ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ibb.co%2FkgyyKY2%2F343-EE131-6114-4-E56-BE40-9-B87-AB7-D558-F.jpg&t=665&c=ckEfS9bACVMbVw) ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ibb.co%2FqMYP7Yz%2F9-EFACA2-C-2357-4603-A95-E-043-A7090-C68-E.jpg&t=665&c=8Esb1jPcouHGeQ) ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ibb.co%2F8XmTqRd%2F48-C8-A8-E6-51-FC-4-ACF-AF2-A-947-B8-DBAAD7-F.jpg&t=665&c=3iYgPxZGZk1dxA)

@Salty - we spoke about this topic a few times over the years. I think you said ruthenium would be too hard to make coins out of? Maybe I’m mistaken.
Yep, while ruthenium is a platinum group metal, its more refractory than platinum which is itself already relatively difficult to work, the same reason premiums on platinum coins tend to be significantly more than gold/silver. Platinum itself wasn't a very easy to work with metal until starting in the 1980s groups of jewelers spent 20+ years developing best practices on how to work with it. As far as I'm aware, theres no standard for ruthenium outside of very specific niche applications ie machining mesh for catalytic converters or something of that sort. There are specialty ruthenium ingots out there, but you'd never find a mint to work it as I doubt the type of dies, strikes, etc needed to work it are commonly available knowledge. Artisans can make some really neat stuff like coins out of amber, but try asking them to make you 100 and best case scenario they give you a couple year lead time. Craftsmanship is to be respected of course, but its a hard sell getting a customer to buy a coin for $1000 when its $30 of material and $970 of labor.

@SatsLife - any more info on that Tungsten coin?
wow love this coin. Tungsten so heavy. Grabbing one. Wish they would have dated it though Made by Midwest Tugsten Service: https://www.tungsten.com/ who had a booth at Bitcoin 2022 in Miami this past week(end). Here is a link to the coin purchase page: https://shop.tungsten.com/tungsten-bitcoin/They also had some tops and cubes at the show!! ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif)

Cyrus doesn’t own the coin, prob just likes them image.

I was always interested in precious stones and coins working together. Kialara has done some but I'd like to see some more diamond, ruby, emerald, etc being worked into coins. I know there was that btc/eth monster coin with the stones that hid the private key is there any others I missed?

Thats the coin ChiBitCTy, thanks for that. I was wondering what the material is and after following the various threads I quote theymos: snip.
Are the front and back identical?
snip. The copper doesn't go all the way through the coin. The obverse is just the semi-clear plastic stuff. What is that firstly in the centre which looks white/silver and secondly the "plastic stuff"?

Ah yes, I never thought about gem stones and have a vague recollection of maybe a Kialara coin. I dont use etsy but on a search for coins with gems I came across a few makers producing coins and pendants with what seems like different approaches and treatments.
