I saw this at the Pert Mint, and now, the US mint... So, be ready to pay 150$ for a 1oz curve coins by the RCM in 2014...

Imagine a curve coin, with a venetian glass combined with piedfor... Lots and lots of new wave of first of a lifetime new product in the pipeline...

I like it. RCM's can be a goalie's catching glove. With a black crystal puck.

Nice, so if/when RCM do it, which side should Her Majesty be on? The concave, or the convex?

I'd say convex, neither would flatter the queen's portrait. Good one shopaholic! My imagination is getting all sorts of images now. To bad the RCM didn't do something like this for their baseball coins. I feel it's a very unique looking coin. Too bad the Mintage is so high! I'll have to take another look when they are released. I really do like the design, the shape really compliments the subject matter.

No, it's more or less easy. The Ladybug and other murano glass coins was relatively hard to put in to 2x2....but we managed

If anything the mint should produce a hockey puck shaped coin at around 6 ounces of silver. The standard hockey puck alone is the same weight and would be a pretty neat idea.

Why put them in 2x2's when they have display cases? Seriously you didn't 2x2 the glass coin series, I must of misread!

@Pocket change 50:

You right, I just joke.
But it was just response for atticguy's post.

Can you imagine some doofus taking a hammer to his coin to flatten it out?

Or you could put it on the railway/streetcar tracks. Not sure if the result would fit in a 2x2 though.

It's not pounded till it's curved. Both dies are curved.

I think it's a cool idea, but it's not a coin at this point. There's a fine line between coins used for everyday and metal discs and pucks. It's a novelty, albeit a cool one. Now they have to develop a curved bimetallic coin in 9999 silver and 9999 gold with a Swarovski crystal and square center hole, all part of the new $500 for $500 series.
