Make a statement every time you pay with this oversized, functional penny! This model is designed to house a standard tap-to-pay debit or credit card, turning a mundane transaction into a conversation starter.
Inspired by the classic Lincoln cent, this "Giant Penny" features high-relief details that capture the iconic look of the original coin while being scaled up for maximum impact.
Features:
- Functional Design: Includes a precision-fit slot for your payment card, allowing you to "tap" the entire coin at any contactless terminal.
- Two-Piece Assembly: The design consists of a detailed front face and a secure backplate to keep your card in place.
Print Settings & Tips:
- Filament: Use a silk bronze or copper PLA to achieve that authentic metallic coin sheen.
- Security: While the fit is snug, you can add a small dab of adhesive or use the integrated tabs to ensure your card stays locked in during daily use.
Assembly & Hardware
- To ensure the coin stays securely together while remaining easy to open, this design utilizes a magnetic locking system.
- Hardware Required: 8 magnets (10mm x 2mm).
- Installation: The magnets are press-fit into the integrated circular recessed slots on the inner faces of the coin. Use glue if necessary.
- Functionality: This allows you to snap the two halves together over your card for a secure hold, while still allowing you to swap cards out whenever needed.
Tip: When installing the magnets, ensure the polarity is aligned so the two halves pull together. A small drop of superglue in the magnet pockets can help keep them permanently seated during heavy daily use at checkout counters.
