Description
The Ten Bit celebrates unicorns and their magic, as well as the harmony between day and night. The back face features an elegant rendition of Canterlot with a magic star shining brightly next to it, it's rays piercing between gold (day) and silver (night), with the typical slogan of Prosperitas, Fraternitas, Parilitas curved underneath. The front face features ten stars as well as a two-metal structure with a silver core and golden outer rim.============================

pretty much just a coincidence, since I call it Royal Equestrian Mint.

That would be the Minting Body, though; Not the Central Monetary authority (US Mint vs Federal Reserve Bank)....but I'm nitpicky here, these are awesome :3

here's a good head scratcher:
which race of ponies controls money?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I'd assume It'd be mostly the unicorns. Somehow I always picture them as the intellectuals, and Canterlot would be where the ECB would be located and it's mostly unicorn, but I can imagine there'd be the odd Earth Pony and Pegasus in the Finance Sector as well

I just buy the 5 bit and you've already got a model for the 10 bit up...why can't you give me a moment of not being Pinkie Pie level excited?

Might order a set of 1, 5 and 10 bit coins when this goes up for sale.

Oh, cool, was this part of the Equestria Daily contest from a while back? I was wondering when we'd see the winner(s) of that. This is very cool, I love how much thought went into the design.

3D printers need to hurry up and become cheap and mainstream already.

It's about 500,000 faces total.

How the fuck do ponies use coin currency, lol. "Oh hey I dropped a dime goddamnit shit fucking hooves can't pick up a damn thing"

suction power, probably. Or maybe unicorns are the only ones capable of actually handling money.

Oooo looks amazing!
Will there be anyway we can buy like a mix of them when you mass produce the 5 and 10 bit coins? I'd love to buy like... maybe 5 one bit, 3 5 bits, and maybe 2 10 bits in one go whenever they are all available!

yeah I'm actually planning a full set of all 5 once I have them all completed. With the shopping car system on our site, you can just mix and match each otherwise.
I'll talk to my sales guy about doing a promotion.

Okay, cool. I'd like to wait to get them all at once because of the international shipping prices and because I'm not going to have much spare cash for about a month. So, we won't have to worry about waiting for the final design to eventually be made but then the 1/5 bit would be completely sold out?

these should all be in stock for the forseeable future.

This is inspirated by the one-euro-coin isnt it ?

Damn, I was just joking about the 10 bit piece, but here you've gone and done it again! It's Canterlotastic! XD

Oh god that gave me chest pains.
Srs though, thanks! I'm really happy with how this came together.

MUST YOU TAKE ALL MY MONEY WITH THESE COINS D:
But seriously, I love it.

Eeeee /)^3^(\
That's so awesome! Please tell me you're going to realise and sell that one!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Protip: when you're ready to take orders, send it to EQD (and put up a journal so that the rest of it can submit as well). I doubt you'll be able to keep 'em in stock if they're sold at a reasonable price.

You're gonna have me spending all my money on these things if you keep it up!
Looks fantastic.

Wow... I think this is my favorite design yet! It looks absolutely incredible!

The two metal design reminds me a lot of the Euro. I like it.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
the inspiration was actually the two pound coin and the ten franc coin (which I miss dearly), but euros adopted the color scheme too and I always thought it looked awesome. It's a shame that US coins don't do it.

Out of all the things we could have done with our coins, we decided state quarters were the best we could do. :/
And I've never actually had one of those two coins manage to find their way over here. A few of my relatives have been lucky enough to take trips to Europe in the past few years, and the only higher-denomination coins that didn't get spent were German Euros.

I agree, I've always liked the dual metal coin design, they even use it in Canada, the US doesn't even use gold coloring.

dollar coins are gold-ish now.

yeah, but those aren't really that used, I've seen them but not very much.
