Glad you bumped this thread, bro! I remember it when it was started, and this is part of what I had to say at the time:
Bitcointalk means a lot to me, as do things like the Zepher coin and the silver skull I bought that he owned, and the bitcoin pennies I got from minerjones. I'd even be more than willing to pay for a coin if the price was reasonable (I don't have a lot of discretionary income right now).
In 2022, all of those things I mentioned above still hold meaning to me and I still have them all. In fact, I was just looking at the Zepher pennies about a half hour ago by coincidence. Minerjones was gracious enough to send me some capsules, so I keep them all encapsulated and in a dollar coin tube.
Whatever happened to this idea?
From reading Welsh's posts here it seems like there was trouble getting it manufactured.
Yeah, wow! I think I tuned out after I saw Theymos's first reply and then the back-and-forth between members who could get a project like this done--at that point I realized there was nothing constructive I could possibly add.
I will say that I'd love to see this come to fruition, and it doesn't matter if the coins are giveaways or for sale. Like I said in 2019, I'd be happy to buy one. There aren't any bitcointalk collectibles out there that come to mind, and I think there's a need for one like this.
