Yeah, but from the looks of it.. that's 4 bottles of wine. If they have good/expensive taste that can run you up fast on a dinner tab.

Unrelated, another Saturday, another day I get bored and melt down metal... Today was the result of a few months back when I had to get a new roof on Chez Haus. It included new rain gutters. The guys said "We even haul off the old rain gutters at no charge!" to which i said.. WOAH.. Hol Up! One house of used rain gutters == around 22 pounds of Aluminum and a lot more play pirate coins to give out on Halloween.

Honestly, if you could find a 3d print file for these, or a way I could get samples (without paying for an ounce gold coin of course) I could probably sand cast them. That is how I make most of the coins I produce. I use a resin printer to print a high res copy, then sand cast. Here's an example... From left to right it's Zinc, Aluminum, Copper, then three in Brass.

It's not perfect, but those were also some of the first I did and I've been improving. To give you an idea of how it's been improving, if you saw the FOH belt buckcle a few pages back, this was the progression towards that ;
