When I visited Israel nine summers ago, I actually met with the founder and head of Beged `Ivri. I consider his attempt to restore the native and indigenous Hebrew culture of 'Eretz Yisra'el as commendable and important, though the Gedolim of course should have the final say on any such project. I have learned that the petil tekhelet promoted by B`I is probably not correct, which is why so few have adopted it. In fact, unless I am mistaken, even the other petil tekhelet introduced by one of the Chasidic sects in the "nineteenth century" is opposed by the majority of authorities.

That's interesting...
I don't know if it means anything, but this coin is listed on the Temple Institute's website --
http://www.templeinstitute.org/cgi-bin/store/commerce.cgi?product=gift
Of course, it's in the gift section of their store, and not part of the Temple implements and furnishings that they have listed elsewhere on their website.
