I saw the same thing, it says on the auction that he designed it. Coins and Pins has some kind of deal where they will sell the coins for you and give you so many of them in exchange for the copyright. I'd imagine that when the website starts selling them, we are going to see a lot more on Ebay. And then, just like the compass rose the price is going to be $40 a pop. But hey, who wouldn't jump on the opportunity to buy a coin for that much and then send it out in the world to get muggled? lol
Unless you collect the coins. Then I could see the point in buying something that there are probably only 100 or 200 of them made. Some of these coins, like that laptop one, I'd like to have just because they are very creative.
