For some unsolicited design advice...

Naming things after real people has the problem of the real person (who ate, slept, and maybe even made some mistakes along the way) not being our idealised form of the person.  It is a nice tribute to a worthy individual, but it is a very limiting aspect as well.  It is a tribute.
Like putting Ceasar on the face of a coin, some folks want the coin but don't much care for Ceasar.  It would be the same with any person.  Also with an experiment such as this, we can never be sure that it even lives up to being a worthy tribute.  Making it a tribute does help to keep that focus though...

That is why we have Liberty on our New Liberty Dollars.  It is an ideal, not a persona, so the appeal is more broad.  No one can say that Liberty was bad because she was unfaithful to her husband or something weird. 

Perhaps to get the aspects you honor, you could call it something else (inventcoin, curiousitycoin, bravecoin) and put Curie on the logo?

For all that, I love Marie Curie as well, and hope for your success.
