I recently ordered some "physical bitcoins" as a novelty gift, and I must say, they're absolutely stunning. At the price they come at they make a great gift for starting a conversation. Hell, you could even try to order a beer with one and it'd be cheaper then paying with real bitcoins!

How do they work, do they have a private key engraved?

It so how do you know the designer/maker won’t sweep them?


No key, just a novelty gift. They have no value other then what the receiving party would be prepared to give for it.

Awhile back I read a thread somewhere on here that some company did just that.
i.e ...actually engraved the priv key with a “sealed” hologram or some such thing and sold
the various bitcoin valued coins they fabricated.
And guess what ended up happening?
Not too hard to figure out...lol
