We've had a pretty good number of guesses so far, but don't forget to vote! I'll close this one out this evening, so today is your last chance...
If you read the posts in sequence, rather than individual posts, it spells out some pretty nasty swear words: ?!~?! !!?"> /.,<>?,./';": ;($& @-)"...
One of the other articles I read about this mentioned that visitors to the museum could "make a 3 minute appointment to use this piece of art."
You can also see the impact of a die crack on the die. On the obverse die, look at the crack that goes off to the left - that crack is all the way...

Don't let @JCro57 find out! ;) Cool coins. You seem particularly drawn to the off centers. Is there a reason for that? Do you think you might...
