Turning 50 cent into a Bitcoin (mini lathe + 3018 cnc)
Ғылым және технология
I just recently bought some new equipment (HBM mini lathe and a 3018 cnc-machine) and wanted to do a little project to test out the 2 machines and get familiar with them.
Since I just passes 25K subs I decided to do a little giveaway to show my appreciation to all of you. I really would've never thought I would even reach 1K let alone 25K, so thank you very very much ;-)
I tried to work as safe as possible with the mini lathe (no long sleeves, removed watch, closed safety covers, etc...) but I do realize working this close to the chuck might not be the best idea, so I wouldn't recommend you doing this.
Some of you might also note I'm "destroying" money. this was also one of my main concerns when I started this project so I did some research. This is what I found on the website of the National Bank of Belgium:
"When notes or coins are definitively withdrawn from circulation, one is not punishable. This is the case, for example, if they are incorporated into souvenirs, decorative works or works of art in such a way that they can no longer be returned to their original state."

I also send them an email just to be sure but I guess this isn't even worth their time because they just keep redirecting me to other departments and it has been a few months now since I've heard from them. but we should be good ;-)

I have the same mill and I have been pretty impressed for how inexpensive it was. I haven't tried anything of this detail yet though. Very nice!
the coins looking really really cool bro
Leuk idee, ziet er vet uit, de CNC en draaibank werken allebei perfect zo te zien!
Cool lathe & CNC, cheers brother & happy "Making" things :)
It's really cool and I actually love your videos!
really impressive work ⚒!
really makes me want to start working on such projects too
Awesome vid. Pretty impressive skills.
Awesome work!!!
I just hope you don't get in trouble for defacing these coins because from what I understand this is actually a criminal offense. I'd rather make a good one-off and use that to make copies by melting and pouring your own brass. That way you can also remove the CNC pattern. Otherwise I really like this project, it's a nice way to learn more about your machine. Why did you decide to engrave it in lines from the bottom to the top, instead of doing contour cuts? I think contour cuts leave less artifacts.
Really cool! Love your content:)
Mijn allerbeste wensen voor het komende jaar. Ga zo door met de geweldige video's

Wow, great job dude !
*I was thinking about buying a CNC router for making challenge coins and was curious now that you've owned the 3018 CNC-machine for awhile if you would still recommend that one or another? I was shocked how inexpensive it was but certainly wouldn't mind spending more if it meant better results. Further, I'd love to know the software that is used can be found in English because the last two laser engravers I bought were all CAD2 but in Chinese until I upgraded to a much better and far more user-friendly Laser Lightburn software.*
Awesome project!
this is a great video, good job!
Great work!
Dude wtf, this is soooo beautiful m. I love it
I watch crypto from middle of 2017 and this is a great video. I have also few coins of bitcoin from aliexpress but yours have additional value of own well done job :)
Really cool, congratzzz
Awesome build
damn dude, awesome work

Really nice work Can you tell the feed and speed you using? Thanks
I was a BIT CO(I)Ncerned about this work, but it TURNED out to be really well done. 10/10.
Very cool. I would love to put an actual key on it to use as a hard wallet for exactly 1 Bitcoin. Then frame it nicely on the wall. (Engraved the back side of course; can't have people seeing that)
loved the video and nice loved the end result

It's so relaxing watching lathe and CNC work. Can you get into trouble for doing that to coins? I think you can in Australia for defacing legal tender. But who cares they look awesome!

you could use a brass slug (or Nordic gold in the case of these coins), in the US, it's legal, I doubt it is in the EU

At least in USA I think there are exceptions for art or educational purposes. I think that law is directed towards remelting coins and selling the raw metal but I’m no expert.
This is flipping cool
what bit are you using to do that work?
very nice job👍👍👍
very nice!
These are very nice
Can i engraving laiton with this machine ?
Very Nice.
🤞 super cool prodject!
Please tell me what is the name of your cnc bit or mill?
WAw ... asombroso no se me avía ocurrido que hacer eso con una moneda
I imagine you could get even better quality with a tool path that follows the engraving lines instead of just sweeping back and forth across the coin
Liked the video
Knap gedaan!
super cool
Sweet! How long did it take to machine each coin?

How much money would you gain by converting a 50 cent coin to a Bitcoin

Physical bitcoins on itself are not worth that much, you can buy them for as little as 1 euro from wish but the details will probably not be as good.
