I would love to make a ton of these, build a treasure chest and just dump it in the ocean somewhere off the coast for divers to find one day. Either that or just dump a chest with a note inside that say that the real treasure us friendship and love 😂
Gold and silver would crash in value since if you assume there was an apocalypse or something like that, because there would be such a small amount of people that if one guy raided a banks vault he would imediately crash the market making gold worth almost nothing. Maybe we could use rare earth metals that are already in such low quantity nowadays or probably unperishable goods that we would be unable to manufacture for a very long time. Theres a game called vintage story and they use gears as currency because people lost the ability to make precision mechanisms, but maybe we would use intel cpus or something like that as currency lol, they are already denominable (i3s, i5s, i7s...) so who knows
Some people engrave their own, others have dies made for them. Historically metalworkers would just take an iron/steel bar and use a graver to cut out the design, but now we're starting to see things like CNC mills and laser engraving.
Then the coin experts comes and inspect the coin. Oh yes this a vintage coin worth about 20k rare find. This guy laughing sure sure give me the money...lol
Nice! Pipe with ID +~1mm or less would make a good sleeve instead of holding alignment of the two dies with your hands. I've been thinking about doing something similar. Maybe start with melting my aluminum cans, copper and brass scrap into coin blanks or small bars. Fun way to stack and store base metals.
Qué metal usó ,Plata o aluminio. Sé puede hacer con cualquiera de los dos?? Y en dónde se puede comprar los troqueles para marcas las caras de la moneda. ?? Gracias.
¡Hola Arturo! De acuerdo con él, el metal usado fue plata. También dice que qualquier metal blando sirve para hacer lo proceso. Ahora a respeto de los troqueles: Fue el que los hice utilizando una máquina CNC
That could be easy understanding even for a little kid....nowadays it is easy to do the die with laser, 3d printers and etc....how did they do the stamp and those small letters and numbers in hard metal...that's the point and the one million dollar question.
Hey man, I have a question. I have 17 ounces of gold and I wanted to make my own coins, is it possible just to melt the gold by it self or do I need to add some sort of alloy or strengthen it?
Thus, U.S. gold coins had 22/24 (22 kt or 91.667%) pure gold, at most 1/24 (0-4.167%) silver, with the remaining fraction, (4.167-8.333%), copper. The weight of circulating, standard gold, eagles was set at 270 grains (17.5 g), half eagles at 135 grains (8.75 g), quarter eagles at 67.5 grains (4.37 g).
Triple Ought Stoll one inch. I think TH-cam was censoring your previous phrasing of the question as I couldn’t see it but still received notification lol
How did you make the die? I am trying to figure out how I want to make it right now and it would help me a lot if you could briefly describe how you made it.
@@SergeKnives Howdy Sir! You have inspired me with this video and I have started to melt some stuff down my self. I'm running in to the issue of time with graphite. Is it normal for it to take a min to heat up?

Just dump a mysterious, heavy, oak chest. Put a single cookie in it and a note saying that the true treasure is sharing and friendship.
As a diver, I would LOVE to find something like this, even if the coins are worthless aluminum. As long as no reefs were harmed, that is.
I want to do this but I have a few questions what where you melting it on and how do u make the dies
Are you taking an apprentice. I'll come help every weekend.
Aw man...I wanted that job😥
if we ever went to the barter system, I'd wanna see all sorts of wacky ass coins that people can come up with since metal would be worth its weight.

@@YoloBagels are these being done directly on the coin? or used to make the die??
@@brandonb4177 Engraving is done to make the die, the coin is then struck with the dies to "copy" the design onto the coin (as seen in the vid)
Use lost wax casting. Engrave the wax die using a 3d wax printer for jewelry. Cast it in bronze.
literally making money. very cool sir.
Thanks!
@@SergeKnives hello Serge, do you make and sell a custom die like this to strike coins?

I may have had an ancestor who did this for William of Normandy. Fascinating business.
I am very interested in learning and doing this.
You're mad.
serge are you selling these I'd love one for my silver collection
Daniel Schafer thanks, they'll be up on my website Thursday at 6pm pacific.
Very nice !
Hi, where can I get those small silver rods?
StaraCiglana I buy my silver from Rio Grande jewelry supply online.
Need at coupler 1:47
I can't imagine what the injury looks / feels like
Hammer and anvil face should be mirror polished. That way there is no chance of leaving behind a signature on the coin.

@@pauloleodrakon garacias por la aclaración .
Can you do that with gold?
Michael Dang yes, I made one from melted down gold nuggets.
Very cool, im going to try this myself
I would love to know where you had your dyes made I've been thinking about making my own coins like this but have no clue where to get the dyes
Park Rat Metal Detecting I made the dies myself
@@SergeKnives maybe u have to make some tutorials how to make homemade dies... anyway thanks a lot for sharing u r skills in video...
@@ceracera2254 My English is not good, may I ask what is the meaning of dies? Is it about color? thanks
@@smallvlog4276 'dies' refers to the metal things he used to stamp the coins. Something used to color fabric is spelled dye
1:24, hammer time.
awsome hammered coins
how did you punch the die ????
can you make that , fron that you have given the desgin
Do you know where i can buy a custom mold like this to make coins but with my logo and desing
Sorry, no idea who’d be willing to make one.
Cool.
I didn't know this was legal. I mean as long as it's pure gold or silver I don't think anyone would have a problem with it.
Mikey Unovapix it’s only illegal if you’re duplicating real currency.
Silver and gold is real currency. Thanks for the tutorial Serge.
October Black
“duplicating” was the key word.
Why would it not be legal?
@@therebelinblack13 perhaps this wording will be more accurate.
"It's only illegal if you are counterfeiting officially minted government coinage"
What is raw material name (sticks )
all illegal activities solutions here .999 fine silver.
Hi
Can I commission you to make me some money for a board game? I need a bunch.

Where did you get that die from friend?
Machined it myself.
Do you sell the die’s
No, they’re for my own use.
If you make a copy of an old coin then it is a fake but if you build the whole town village and tall ship is it still fake?
hello where do you get these "imprints"
music sounds like it should be at the beginning of a Lord of The Rings movie
but it takes a much money to make it
You nailed it. Just a joke
How did you make the mold with which you struck the coin?
Machined the dies on my cnc milling machine.
Amazing ! Is there a place where i could make my own die ? I would love to made my own custom médiéval style coins
Sorry I don’t know of anyone making dies.
That is so cool
Great video :) do you think can it be done with tin instead of silver? Thanks
Thanks! Any soft metal will work.
What do you use to make your raw material and how do you get dies to make the stamps
YoJimBo I buy the .999 silver off of a jewelry supply website RioGrande, and made the dues myself with my cnc milling machine.
Where did you get/how did you make the dies?
CuddlyBear made them with a cnc mill.
Hey man, I have a question. I have 17 ounces of gold and I wanted to make my own coins, is it possible just to melt the gold by it self or do I need to add some sort of alloy or strengthen it?
You’re better off buying scrap 22 karat gold from ebay instead of potentially ruining your ounces.

The weight of circulating, standard gold, eagles was set at 270 grains (17.5 g), half eagles at 135 grains (8.75 g), quarter eagles at 67.5 grains (4.37 g).
the romans made aureus and solidus coins out of pure gold. I don't see why you wouldn't be able to either.
Ware did you get the die made
Made them myself.
Can a professional ancient coin dealer tell the difference between the real/genuine coins and the kind of coins your making?
Jedi2,000,000,000 lol I should hope so, since my company logo is stamped on the front of the coin.
Serge Knives haha I understand. What if the coin was without the stamp?
Jedi2,000,000,000 the design on both sides is an original one drawn up by me.
How did you make the dies?
bchimself with my cnc milling machine.
Serge Knives would you make custom dies for others for sale at your shop?
what is the diameter of your dies?
Triple Ought Stoll one inch. I think TH-cam was censoring your previous phrasing of the question as I couldn’t see it but still received notification lol
Serge Knives: I was wondering what was going on but anyway thanks

@@GainsGoblin HAAS DT-2
@@SergeKnives thanks a lot !
What kind of stone or material are you melting this on? Is this just a small anvil?
DJ Dead Llama Fire brick.
@@SergeKnives how well does the firebrick hold up to continuous pours like this? I’m intrigued and debating doing this over graphite coin molds.
@@hoogie221 the graphite will be much better. Firebrick is too porous, and tends to stick to silver.
