[CROWDFUNDING PROJECT] *** Use your Government Coins to promote Bitcoin ***

[Geenstijl]

Hey Guys,

All of a sudden I had this great idea. What better way to promote a new currency by than using the old one?? In the early ages (like 20 years ago) it was very common that protest groups put stickers on coins to promote their ''good'' causes.

Throughout the years this phenomenen has become rather rare. But why? None knows. And that is why we are going to use it again! Putting stickers on coinage is one of the cheapest ways to promote new stuff. An average coin switches hands like ones every four days. If theres a sticker on it, guaranteed that the receiver of the coin reads that message... Let's say 80% does. I mean, c'mon if you receive a coin with a sticker on, it makes you curious to read it right?

So one sticker can reach around 8 people a month. If we all stick 50 stickers to our Euro's, Quarters, Pounds or whatever coin is close to that size... that means we could reach up to 50 * 8 * 52 = 228000 people a year! Per person! holy cow, that is a lot of people.



So my crowdfund project is all about selling these stickers. I found some supplier who makes very durable stickers and most importantly: they do not cause any troubles with vending machines. Other stickers cause coins to be unusable for vending machines, resulting into people peeling the stickers off again. That is not what we want to happen.

So check out this project. Fund. And receive your stickers.

Currently the Design of the sticker looks like this



But I am open for any new designs as well. Most important is that it has a short strong message and it should promote only Bitcoin. Not too much details, this is all about spreading generale awareness. Oh and it can only containd 4 colors maximum!

Target: 3.5 BTC
If the project does not get funded, all funds are refunded

Oh and also, Please Spread the word!

Example: This sticker has been on this coin for at least 15 years! Fabulous quality!

It was a promotional effort by the Dutch Protest Group for Animal Rights

This is an excellent idea. What size will the stickers be about? ( sorry, I live in South Africa, I have never actually had a quarter or euro or pound coin, so im a bit ignorant unfortunately  )

Thanks! and No problem! About 20 millimeters. I think the 2 rand (23mm) would fit perfectly!

I do not produce the stickers myself. I get them from a trusted supplier. They have been in the coinmarketing business for a while and worked together with renowned companies such as Domino's Pizza, the National Lottery, The National Postal Services. The problem is, there is no affordable option to buy the stickers in small quantities. That is why I set up this crowdfunding... This way we all buy together and still have just 50 or a 100 stickers... I mean I ain't going to stick more than that probably.

There ain't much to say abou the stickers besides that they are about 2 centimeters in diameter, printed on glossy white vinyl paper and very durable (at least three months intensive usages). I got to know this company from a sticker i found on my own coin collection. This coin is from 1979, the sticker has been on there for about 15 years (but not intensive usage) still looking good!

I put the example in the OP. It was a promotional effort by the Dutch Protest Group for Animal Rights (this coin is much bigger than a Euro though).
