Thanks for your input!  I think we are torn at the moment on size. I personally like the larger medallion size

+1 for the medallion size, it'd be great to have something with a bit of heft and is a real centrepiece for whoever owns it - something that looks great on display.

For a 5cm diameter coin, metal print costs, one-offs (material cost):

Stainless Steel - USD$44
Gold Steel - USD$48
Brass - USD$191
Stainless, Gold Plated, 14k - USD$225
Pure Silver - USD$317

And then Gold and Platinum dust prices are just insane. Titanium is out of stock for the printer model...

Printing is thus prohibitively expensive.

Some fun things we can print though:

Sandstone - USD$8
100% Pure Platinum - USD$13,252 (*dies*)

If the plan is to make metal coins in large volumes, you'll want to get a third party to make a die or a stamp.

Damn, that 100% pure platinum cost... wow!

Just to clarify - these are costs for dust for the 3D printer right? Not for the CNC? As I know there's been some confusion.

i like the idea of 1 or 2 brass coins made.  1 is gifted to the foundation to do with as they please -- perhaps an auction to raise funds -- and the other is gifted to the cpid that mines the millionth block.  i also like the medallion size.

Is aluminum off the table? I'd imagine that is cheap.
