Copper is very cheap, the coins would have to be huge in order to have any value compared to the cost of making them.

If anyone is looking for copper bitcoins check out http://CoinedBits.com for gold plated 1oz copper bitcoins.

These are dummy coins though. They aren't really worth anything.

Well "dummy" is a little strong in my view :-)

True they are mostly a novelty collector coin with not much precious metal value. I posted this because there was discussion over having a copper round.

The "real" value these coins have are that they can be put into "circulation" and create more interest in bitcoin and evangelize the bitcoin message to the world. Precious metal coins don't get much face time with people other than the owner.

i thought they were brass, not copper?
from the link you posted, i clicked buy to see more info and the price and saw:
"These are high quality coins made of pure brass with 18k gold plating. Each coin is 1.5" in diameter and weighs 1 oz. "

In any event, we are planning on adding a pure Copper Bitcoin to our resume.

Also, it appears My Bitcoin Mint is starting to receive some media attention..I will try to see if UDoPage is interested in an interview Tongue
