I dunno. I mean, it's not like Kiwis are a social crew irl, so having the opportunity to slap one down on a bar is probably low.

Or.... embed an RFID or NFC chip in them if they were to be made with resin or pot-metal; which creates an audio-visual shitpost on any device that scans it, or confers True & Honest titles to the holder of the coin when logging on.

If I was making my own coin, I'd do something like that to make it more interesting/mysterious.

The price of precious metal work is way too high, and I personally don't think there's enough margin to make selling custom silver coins worth it. On the other hand, chinesesium challenge coins without any value are are kind of lame. What I'd suggest is a challenge coin with a qr code for a Bitcoin wallet private key, with around ~$10 or so worth of Bitcoin on it to make it worth something, but not unaffordable.

Something like this, but with more autism, and not necessarily gold plated or anything:

Plus we would get the joy of some retard sharing pictures of their new coin and not realizing you're not supposed to show off the private key on the back.

Indium is a cool metal
Big crystals, and it 'talks' when distressed.

Nah, it'll work.

Like you know when you're walking down the street past another guy so you flash your coins at each other?
When it's two guys with the KF coin then you can chat about amholes and stuff.

I've been debating what to do for the next merch run and due to the memes of the day I'm looking into a custom silver round mint.

First idea I have was
Front: KF logo and and the text "Kiwi Farms" above / "Fuck the Banks", below
Reverse: CWC's head in profile with a tiara like the Queen of England on Commonwealth coin mints with "In Sonichu we Trust"

Someone suggested $5 over spot for the coin as a sales price (i.e. $27.22 per oz [spot price], $5 markup, then shipping).

I'm not being facetious I am an insane person and I want to mint my own coins for fun. How many people are interested?

Whether or not this goes through depends heavily on manufacturing and what they have as minimum orders.
So, if you happen to be in the industry, email me <jcmoon@pm.me>.

Edit: Quote 1 came in and it's looking pretty dire.

Yeah getting the cash for setting up initial production is going to be the most expensive part, the silver itself it pretty easily obtained.

Jersh, you may have to find a few fine fellows who have connections in Nevada.

I may be able to help with it.

First quote I've gotten:



This is way more than I was expecting tbh. I don't see why he'd be charging $10 over spot for the metal (literally a >33% profit already) and then an additional $7 per strike. At that rate I'd be looking at selling coins over double the spot, and even then at $56, that'd not make as much money as the manufacturer itself for the run. That's a big bummer.

Just value them at $100 instead of $5 and everybody profits.

I'm not going to do Terry. He's dead, I can't ask for his permission, I don't want to deal with their estate, and I don't want to poach his legacy like a bunch of people are doing.

It says on the website, "All content related to Terry A. Davis, TempleOS, J Operating System, SparrowOS, or LoseThos should be considered public domain." Would it still be illegal to use his image? I agree with you but it would also be nice to have some terry stuff that's not a shitty piece of clothing.

Legality aside, it is in rather poor taste. Chris has made most of the trouble in his life for himself. Terry was a true and honest victim of debilitating mental illness. Hucking his face onto a coin to raise money for an autism forum seems inappropriate. Terry should be left to rest.

I’m not gonna read through 22 pages to see whether or not this idea has been posted but rather than “In sonichu we trust” wouldnt “In GodBear we trust” be snappier ?

Damn... bit pricey. Might splurge on one if my autism is high enough in the moment.

I can cover everything. Find me someone willing to cast dies, import materials, strike, and disburse for a good price.

I believe there are indeed ways to get that inlayed in coins through tritium and the like. But it's extremely expensive, big markup
