akdrv Posted June 20, 2011 Report Share Posted June 20, 2011 Dutch Mint issues the first coin with a QR code (2 dimensional barcode) http://dvice.com/archives/2011/06/first-coins-wit.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Stilson Posted June 20, 2011 Report Share Posted June 20, 2011 Wonder when the site will be live? Or does the 404 mean something. I'm assuming that's a screw press on the reverse. Have a feeling when its live it will link to history of the mint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Stilson Posted June 21, 2011 Report Share Posted June 21, 2011 I know the color can't be right. Both gold and silver look like they dead. The qr code website is up now. http://www.q5g.nl/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobh Posted June 22, 2011 Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 QR codes would be fantastic on coins for forgeries etc.. but they ugly Why do you think it would be hard to forge a QR code? I think that part would be the easiest to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finn235 Posted June 23, 2011 Report Share Posted June 23, 2011 Until I see an actual photograph of one of these, I will have a hard time they actually exist. And if they do, this is just one more nail in the coffin of commemorative coinage. Right between the RCM Natural History Museum coin with a hologram of a T-Rex and the Swiss chocolate-flavored Franc that is actually made of Swiss chocolate.

jtryka Posted June 25, 2011 Report Share Posted June 25, 2011 Can anyone tell me how to read one of these? I have an iPhone now, but I can't figure out what to do with these things, do you take a picture of them? Any insights would be appreciated.
