For bitcointalk.org's 10th anniversary later this year, I was thinking that it might be cool to produce a limited run of 50-300 coins and give them out (maybe all-expenses-paid or maybe at cost) to users who meet some to-be-determined criteria. I'm not a collector, though, so I'm not knowledgeable about this stuff.
- Does this sound like a good idea?
- What features would make the coin especially interesting?
- What's the best way to get a coin like this made?
I would commission some well-respected and known crypto collectibles manufacturer to make such a coin & all the things related to it, or maybe a group of 2-3. Also, I would not limit it under 1000 pieces. I would see a pre-loaded coin as much nicer than an unloaded or non-holo coin, even though that includes its own problems.
Of course a non-coin collectible could be nice... But costs may increase a lot, etc. Maybe some sort of an unique artwork divided in even pieces? All in all, I think a simple approach yields better outcome.
