perhaps the most retarded idea I've ever had

[Harvey Danger]

I love this idea, but if you're going to go through the trouble of fulfilling physical silver merch, you need a higher markup.

Silver coins tend to have a $2-$4 premium over spot price just to produce or buy retail. Silver is currently at $29.41 as I type, so you're looking at roughly a $32-$36 cost before your markup. And that's if you can even find bullion--I went to my normal bullion seller sites to pull examples, but they're out of stock on literally every single 1 oz coin from around the world.

I'm in for a few if you pull it off, but you're heading into some real supply logistics "fun" if you do. Mark it up high enough to be worth your trouble.

We need autists to make the Infomercial...

"The Kiwi Mint is proud to showcase: The Founding Lolcow Collection. This lovely collection of .999% pure silver commemorative coins comes with a complete copy of the CWC Wiki..."

The Moon Mint? The Kiwi Mint. We need something more Boomer...

 

[Plague Dog]

Sounds fun, but I don't have enough money for tendies, so I'd be buying those instead.

 

[Prester John]

i dont even know what to do with a coin, make a medallion out of it?

maybe put a little dainty sonichu on it...

Yes, there needs to be a Sonichu variant.

What is this, a fucking nickel?

Here you go, over a million billion kajillion hours in PC Paintbrush.

Shut up and take my bitcoin!

I would take nothing less than a valid certification of the silver content, signed by yours truly @Null.

I know this isn't on the topic of the coins but still about merch, but would you consider selling other shit such as plushies of a kiwi or the dog?

I would love to give my wife a plush kiwi or a plush slobber mutt for valentines day this year.

 

[Mr. Manchester]

Make a Franklin Mint infomercial

The Boomers will DROWN you in orders.

Include a copy of the Constitution, just for feels...

Make it a copy of section 230 and it would be perfect

 

[IAmNotAlpharius]

Yes I want to sell off a coin and have the person wonder wtf is it. Also it would be kinda cool if you can have some coins with content ratings like an Islamic Content coin or the autism symbol.

That’s be cool. I assume this first one has to be done successfully but I do like collecting obscure coins so I wouldn’t mind getting more especially if there’s a limited run and they have certificates.

I would love to give my wife a plush kiwi or a plush slobber mutt for valentines day this year.

That’s not a bad idea.

 

[Null]

Valentines is too soon. Maybe next year. I was dwelling on what to do for too long and now I'm kind of rushing to figure out a first quarter merch run idea. The silver idea struck me today because I was looking at precious metal interest that's surging right now.

 

[Kosher Dill]

Reverse design:

Needs something on the sides though.

The difference between The Franklin Mint and The Kiwi Mint?
Kiwi Koins aren't plated with silver or gold.

100% Nigga, NIGGA.

 

[Mellorine]

I'm autistic enough to love weird coins and would gladly buy an oz or two of precious Kiwi metal.

 

[robobobo]

I'm willing to roll with this, if you can sell it through some normal-ish way that doesn't need me to route bitcoins through some Russian server.

 

[HarblMcDavid]

I'd be in for at least 2 if this comes to fruition, but as other have pointed out, make sure you're marking up enough to not lose money.

 

[Mr. Skeltal]

I wouldn't mind buying some for a laugh even though I'm not buying much silver at the moment (I bought the majority of mine when it was $13/oz). Imagine trying to sell these things years from now to some confused coin shop.

 

[AgriDrThunder]

I inherited a large collection of silver coins and would love to add my own contribution to it. This sounds perfect. Please make this real.
