perhaps the most retarded idea I've ever had

Apologies if it's already been mentioned, is there a ballpark figure on roughly how much a coin will cost? This site has provided many a laugh over my years lurking so happy to support this if it's somewhat reasonable.

And whilst I'm asking questions, I assume UK residents will be able to purchase one?
 
I think it's a very cool idea. But probably not.

My problem lies in living in a shit country for importing anything from overseas and being a poor bitch. If let's say it's about $60 with shipping.... when it would arrive I'd have to pay an additional ~$23-24 in fees. Which is a pass for me.
If it was shipped from within EU I'd probably maybe consider it, but the fees from the postal office are too spicy for me.
 
Here's my quickie (child Chris.)

Not feelin’ the Chris designs. If it’s a picture of Chris I expect it would require some kind of A-log-comedy-routine-esque explanation of who the fuck Chris is and why anyone should care, whenever the coin is seen and asked about. I find that unappealing compared to something that represents the site rather than Chris, since the Kiwi Farms can be succinctly described as “a stupid internet commentary site that everybody on the internet is scared shitless of for no valid reason.”
 
I've been debating what to do for the next merch run and due to the memes of the day I'm looking into a custom silver round mint.

First idea I have was
Front: KF logo and and the text "Kiwi Farms" above / "Fuck the Banks", below
Reverse: CWC's head in profile with a tiara like the Queen of England on Commonwealth coin mints with "In Sonichu we Trust"

Someone suggested $5 over spot for the coin as a sales price (i.e. $27.22 per oz [spot price], $5 markup, then shipping).

I'm not being facetious I am an insane person and I want to mint my own coins for fun. How many people are interested?

Whether or not this goes through depends heavily on manufacturing and what they have as minimum orders.
So, if you happen to be in the industry, email me <jcmoon@pm.me>.

Edit: Quote 1 came in and it's looking pretty dire.
Any possibility of a Sonichu 1oz ?
 
Damnit, this is taking too goddamn long. I need my coin, and I want it now!
 
Unironically why isn't there a kiwiCoin crypto? I know literally everyone says this as an epic obvious joke but I had a friend who made a crypto for his tiny 20-30 person forum. If he could do it for a cheap laugh, it can't be too hard.
 
People are going to dig this up in 2000 years and think this was the side profile of some great king

"And on the pedestal, these words appear:
A T S I M U
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away.”
