#Physical crypto coins series#

The client who contacted us about making these physical bitcoins wanted a set of coins to hand out at a conference themed around cryptocurrencies. It was published in 2008, and first introduced the concept of bitcoins and cryptocurrencies as we know them today. The concept of bitcoins is hard to explain, but if you really want to get to the bottom of it all, the best place to start is with Satoshi Nakamoto’s paper Bitcoin - A Peer to Peer Electronic Cash System. Take a look at what we have made and let us know what you think.īitcoin is probably the first thing that comes to mind when someone thinks of cryptocurrency. It just goes to show that even for something like cryptocurrency, which puts so much value on being intangible, people still like having a physical token to carry around.

But, creating a coin for something like Bitcoin, Tether or Ripple is a different story altogether.
