+Nochipra Posted September 30, 2007 Share Posted September 30, 2007 I guess that is what you call it a "hologram"? You know the kind of picture you look at one way and then you look the other way and it looks like they eyes are following (for example)? Just curious? Quote Link to comment

I've never heard of one (but that wouldn't mean there isn't one!). Sounds cool though - hope someone makes one!! Quote Link to comment
+Nochipra Posted September 30, 2007 Author Share Posted September 30, 2007 Yeah me too. If I could afford to get my own coins done I would do it. Oh well, there is an idea for someone. Quote Link to comment
+BRoKeN W Posted September 30, 2007 Share Posted September 30, 2007 I've heard there's one that is in the makes right now. Quote Link to comment
Son of Cyclops Posted September 30, 2007 Share Posted September 30, 2007 I am working on one but it is a LOT of money to make. Quote Link to comment
+roboknight Posted September 30, 2007 Share Posted September 30, 2007 we had one in the makes but it ended up too expensive and we wpulf have had to buy way too many. We were really disappointed . Its called a linticular (sp) coin. Quote Link to comment
+UOTrackers Posted September 30, 2007 Share Posted September 30, 2007 I had to check with the creator to be sure I could answer this. There is in fact a coin in the works with this type of "hologram". Samples have already been made and final revisions are under way. I'm sure when the owner returns to a computer they will be able to provide more information. Quote Link to comment
+stickerooni Posted September 30, 2007 Share Posted September 30, 2007 we had one in the makes but it ended up too expensive and we wpulf have had to buy way too many. We were really disappointed . Its called a linticular (sp) coin. Actually, there are a couple of different ways to do it. Lenticular is probably the most expensive. (And it's not a hologram, but it is 3D.) There is also the "regular" type of hologram, made with lasers. They tend to have a greenish look to them. You see them around periodically as novelty items (such as eye glasses that have hologram eyes on them and as keychains, etc). What might be the least expensive means is the "foil" hologram. These also have 3D look, more color than a regular hologram, but not quite as much depth. The best example I've seen of this kind are the hologram stamps that the US Post Office issued, pre-printed on #10 envelopes a few years back. I'd certainly pony out some money for a coin like this...! (My other hobby is 3D photography... ) stickerooni Quote Link to comment
QuigleyJones Posted September 30, 2007 Share Posted September 30, 2007 Has there ever been a coin made with a hologram?Yes, infact theres lots of hologram coins out there, just none that are geocoins. Quote Link to comment

Indeed there is one in the works and it has been months in the works at that!! It will indeed be a lenticular lens and it will be a face to face trade coin due to the expense of making this coin. I have two sets of samples already. I made revisions and I am currently waiting for the third set of samples before final sign off!! Stay tuned!! Those of you that know of some of my problems in the last few months, if I could of cancelled this project I probably would have it has been an expensive project ! However the flip side to that it should be the first lenticular lens coin ! Quote Link to comment
+CoinsAndPins Posted September 30, 2007 Share Posted September 30, 2007 However the flip side to that it should be the first lenticular lens coin ! For clarification: is it the first lenticular coin, or first lenticular geocoin? Quote Link to comment

I would love to visit you in NZ, what does it cost to fly anyway? Just as a side note I was suppose to go to Europe this last year and didn't make it due to buying a house. So the thought of NZ just rocks!!! Edited October 2, 2007 by Damenace Quote Link to comment
+Landsharkz Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 We looked into making a lenticular lens coin last year but the client decided against it due to the costs involved. It can certainly be done though and we're sure looking forward to seeing how it turns out Damenace... Would you keep one aside for us in case we're in Utah again next summer ... then again, Vancouver Island is really nice to visit too Quote Link to comment

Would you keep one aside for us in case we're in Utah again next summer ... then again, Vancouver Island is really nice to visit too Absolutely I will save one for your next trip to Utah. I wish we could have bumped into each other during your last trip. I will be doing 100 coins so there will be plenty for face to face trading. I should add that I will only be doing limited quantities when I attend events(5 to 10), so it is of your best interest to find me early and bring your traders!!! Quote Link to comment

Son of Cyclops Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 I would love to get one, my coin would be like this like I said before. Once I save up the money, there will be another hologram coin like this. Quote Link to comment

Son of Cyclops Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 It would depend on how much I have to spend and what looks better. I am still looking at art but I am thinking of a blinking eye. Quote Link to comment

For clarification: is it the first lenticular coin, or first lenticular geocoin? Geocoin, I hope . It will probably be the first geocoin with a lenticular lens, but we have already made several regular coins with lenticualr lenses. We have a design in the works for a geocoin with a lens, but we are slow at this one since there are many other burning projects first in line. Quote Link to comment

+Map Monkey Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 Here are pictures of the Australian Pig lenticular coin Need to get one with a goat instead of a pig! That is a legal tender Australian coin, not a geocoin (though with a sale price of AU$88 and a true value of AU$1 it could be a geocoin ) See http://www.perthmint.com.au/catalogue/lent...e-pig-coin.aspx for the actual coin page. How many different ways are there to produce a lenticular lense affect? Is there a cheap way, or is the outcome only achieved by high precision only? mm Quote Link to comment
+tokencollector Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 (My other hobby is 3D photography... ) stickerooni Totally OT, but me too. I love my Stereo Realist - It's fun when, on occasion, someone recognizes what I'm up to with that funny old camera. Back OT, IT could be interesting, but I suspect it would be expensive for any of the types of holograms mentioned above. Quote Link to comment

+GEO*Trailblazer 1 Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 Actually lenticular art(illusion art) is done all the time as well as 3D. LENTICULAR ART Now the process for getting the coins(metal) to change colors is a different process altogether. METAL COLORING I rember getting them in Cracker Jacks. Hey a Cracker Jack Lenticular.

+tiki Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 Believe it or not the new (well, new as of 2000) japanese 500 yen coins use a lenticular effect in the actual stamped metal of the coin! Take a look - When viewed from the top, the zeros in the 500 appear to be filled with decorative lines, but when you tilt the coin at an angle you see this: http://www.mint.go.jp/eng/operations/coin/new500-02.html apparently the 2 pound coin has the same technology. Really neat effect - I kept one of the coins from my last trip (a pricey keepsake!) I am sure this is a seriously complex die to make, and is way too crazy for a geocoin. But if anyone is up for trying I'd trade for one! Quote Link to comment
