I tried to make all options "worth" about the same using todays prices. because I was trying to find out, what people expect to be most sucessfull in terms of actually keeping it's value in the furue.
it's 17 BTC, 2 oz silver (maple leaf) and 50 EUR
You do know that 50 euro is actually 70 dollar, right?
Anyway, Europeans have actually had a currency change in 2002. For me, the Euro was worth more than the old currency, i.e. everything looked cheap. This takes a while to get used to, but eventually you get an intuition for the buying power of the new coin. The "looks" don't really matter, I think, just the familiarity with the worth, which grows after a while.
How do you use those bitcoins?
There's a private key under the hologram. You can import that into your wallet, or into mtgox. Or you can spend the physical coins again, of course.
