So I created my own Bruce Lee coin. BUT BIGGER!

Dream it and you can do it.

Following on from the thread about the 1oz Bruce Lee silver coin.

Today I got home to find the Downies catalogue had arrived in the mail. I flick through the pages to find Bruce Lee prominently displayed:

The first thing I notice is that the image looks to be the exact size of a kilo coin. I check and confirm my suspicion:

Well, the next step is obvious. Make my own BRUCE LEE KILO COIN! At this stage I have probably put in about as much effort as the Perth Mint did in coming up with the design for the Bruce Lee coloured coin.

Time to break out the tools:

Fortunately I have some scuffed old capsules to use for this project:

Reconfirming the size. Looks good:

Some quick cutting with the capsule as the template and I'm almost done:

Now here comes the magic. The final assembly process. I apologise to Bruce for using a dirty capsule.

SUCCESS!

Bonus Spock on the other side:

You put water into a teapot, it becomes the teapot

 

[Miloman]

You didn't open the kg capsule to do that, did you?

 

[SpacePete]

You didn't open the kg capsule to do that, did you?

Next step is to glue Bruce Lee's image to the kilo coin.

(No, I didn't open it I have some old, scuffed kilo coin capsules that I used.)

Nice job, its probably taken you the same time as the Perth Mint to copy the generic Bruce Lee pic, but you've done it no doubt at a fraction of the cost

Post it to the PM blog...

You mean, you didn't photoshop it, you went old school!

Old school all the way on this one. I now have a physical Bruce Lee coin.

If only I had access to a 3D printer or CNC mill...

It would be good idea to design new coin Year o Monkey 2016 for PM!
