Have you seen the guitar shaped coins?

Can't wait for the first hyper-spherical coins!

Definitely a two-dimensional spheroid type figure for a traditional coin, to be precise. Actually, since I do have my Masters in Biochem, and worked as a weapons officer in the Navy, you might say I am a "rocket scientist." lolol
