Dumb question: is it possible to purchase 1-2 Bitcoins, in a frame, like the framed US Mint Set I have, of $2 bills? Just to hang on the wall. Or are real Bitcoins so costly that it wouldn’t be worth it, as souvenirs. I’m not “up” on the whole Bitcoin thing.

All I can find is “Bitcoin art”:

As far as I know, there is no “official” Bitcoin mint.

I know that several private dealers have actually created and sold physical Bitcoins.

I don't know if there is a copyrighted “official” design for a physical Bitcoin, or if it must contain certain kinds of metal.

I suggest you contact “TsonicTsunami08” at Free Republic.

He is highly informed about Bitcoins.

One thing to keep in mind.....

Beyond artistic value, a physical Bitcoin can only have intrinsic value if it is linked in some way to a specific “electronic wallet” that has "virtual" cash in it.
