Has anyone found some nice examples of do-it-yourself gold plating?

If the mint made a penny that looked like this, I would totally buy it!

The mint does make coins that look like that. Then, they sell them as watches, cufflinks, etc...

It really isn't that hard to gold plate something. Kits are fairly cheap and commercially available. You could easily gold plate all of your own pennies.
