I believe that forum with 2.7 million registrations will gain absolutely nothing when it will send round shiny things to 100 "chosen people".
A physical coin is a vestige of a dying era, from which cryptocurrencies help to cure. Therefore, there is no sense in a physical collectible coin. This is a return to old habits, while a new generation need to look to the future.
All I want to say that the forum from the creator of revolutionary digital technology could come up with something better than a physical anniversary coin to celebrate 10 years of the site.
When we consider active users, banned, and those who are considered scammers by the majority then there isn't a whole lot of users left. No where near 0ver 300k let alone 2.7 million. A digital coin would not have the same impact, depending on how you're thinking this would be done if it was a coin on your forum profile then it just becomes a sort of badge. Which users are going to show as status instead of having something they're proud about. I'd be chuffed with a physical coin with the Bitcointalk.org seal of approval on. I don't know why it is, but I feel something for this forum, and its not just a forum or community that I'm a part of anymore. Its something which I'm passionate about, and believe has been a fundamental part of Bitcoin.
I'd disagree, I feel like having a physical collectible to hang up on the wall or whatever you want to do would be better than something digital.
