Probably already been said, but let me reinforce it. It's not a coin, technically, unless it is die-struck.

3D printers, depending on how long they are running can leave an undesirable pattern of pixelations, which is fine if you're going to polish the item after, but those cracks and crevices are just impossible or time-consuming to polish. You're in for a heck of a learning curve if you're going to make "coins" in this way.

Touche. What about hammer-struck? A hammer is a flat die.
