      It's not, this is how this coin is made (well, it's actually a medal). Actual coins are struck between dies imparting the shape of the die on the coin. But, that's beyond the average home machinist to do.

  • @thepersona1019
    @thepersona1019 8 лет назад

    Heres the actual questions though, The machinery needed to make that is quite complicated so it would be beneficial if maybe the equipment was also in the description. Im guessing its thousands of dollars at least, so if one needs to find somebody to do the imprinting of the coin once all the graphics and 3d modeling was finished, they know what to ask for.

    • @SwitchAndLever
      @SwitchAndLever  8 лет назад

      +The Persona I mention it in the video, it's very easy to hit up Google and find yourself. Though, frankly, if you're going through all of that for just one coin, and you don't have the equipment, it may just be better to use a service like Shapeways to have it printed directly in metal, or to contact a coin foundry and have a custom coin minted for you. The cost of both of those methods are several magnitudes more expensive than milling it yourself.

    To make the coin even more realistic, just put them in a bucket of gravel and shake it to add texture to the metal (like a tumbler).
    Just a small advice : add more caracter to that dull robot voice you have ...
    Btw such a great idea that small recess at the bottom of each coin pocket to easily take them out.

      Unless you already have the equipment. That specific CNC mill is not terribly expensive, at least as far as CNC mills go. Getting it done for you you end up buying someone's time essentially, as well as machine time, will obviously be rather expensive.
