Really cool! By the way, Theodore Gray in Fatcat's link writes an excellent (and in the last few years, the only worthwhile column) about elemental science in Popular Science.

Way cool. I think i need some of these coins.

I subscribed to them for a year, it started really well, but then the magazine went downhill...
