It appears they are making a series of collector coins. Though to me they are more paper dollar sized than coin sized. When I read the headline I got excited. Then I saw the pictures. Not only starting with Jace, but there is no way you will want to be flipping this to decide some in game action.

Discuss.

I hope somebody buys enough of these to put them in circulation in new zealand because I assume that these are going to have the "legal tender" moniker added to them.

Nobody uses actual precious metals to buy things, that's just a waste.

I think they're neat. And its more a publicity stunt than anything. Advertising expense with the opportunity to recoup costs.

I'd buy one if it weren't obscenely expensive. Which it will be.

Silver's currently about 24-25 NZD/Oz. The coin is marked $2. So I'm guessing that if these get into circulation somehow they'll quickly be removed by the first, maybe second person they circulate to. :-P

I am laughing at the idea of this coin with Jace Beleren on one side and Queen Elizabeth II on the other.

According to that booklet, Jace.

New statistic: Jace, the Mind Sculptor coin to Jace, the Mind Sculptor card exchange rate.

If they make an old school Royal Assassin version I am not sure if I will be able to resist.

I kind of want my LGS to buy one just to have it as a random prize for a tournament some day. I mean, they did only mint 5,000 of them.

Foils are for plebs. I'm making my next standard deck entirely out of coins.
