I'm sure many of you have heard about coinable.com, but for those who didn't know here is the linkyText
I can imagine all the different coins I could make. Hell, you can even make a mood coin that changes colors with heat.

Is that for the wife/girlfriend to see where we stand that day? Here honey, hold this..... wow red, I'll be outside all day.
you could flatten it with a hammer...then
tell your friends you have a "shrinky dink" coin
toss it in an oven and watch it return to a coin again
dents and rim bumps would be cool to watch correct themselves under a lil heat too
nitinol is a naval alloy that has shape memory and will return to it's free state under heat...twist it...bend it...hammer it...whatever
but it can't be minted as that removes the free state...if it was minted....under heat it would return to a blank planchet
that'd be cool

That makes me think of strawberry pop tarts... I getting something to eat.

Edited to add... this one is unique. A pattern coin with this one being the only one made. Also, never to be made again. the 741st doesn't exist anymore.

how close could you do to an original 1909 vdb matte proof except changing the date to 2009?
would abes bust compare?
Regarding the possibility of making "pattern" fantasy coins, I think we have all seen some really awful coin "copies" out there that look like a joke compared to the original. Very few people would have the skill to make a "2009" fantasy proof Lincoln cent and have it look close enough to be interesting. But I'm going to give it a shot ! My plan is actually to make a 2009-o VDB fantasy coin next year. Why the "o" you might ask ? Because it is also the 100th anniversary of the last New Orleans coinage.
Size would determine a cost for the project. We offer sizes ranging from .0800 inch to 4 inches.
Prices are determined by several factors:
Quantity:
Size:
Metal type or finish:
