The thread on my coin got deleted so am restarting. I spoke to aman yesterday who was intrigued and we decided to produce a coin for his Church. More later.

It is certainly something we must consider now. I will be designing a 2022 coin and might make a million dollars worth, which is only 20000 coins., sell them for double and actually back the currency with 2 million dollars.

These are the coins. They are pretty. I wish they were offered in solid gold.

This will likely be the only run I do on this exact coin because I wish ti design and mint the next issue, based on The Children of Lir. So 100 people will end up with one of these and they will have the option of partnering with me going forward. They cost $45 not counting the cost of producing the die set needed for both sides. This stash cost 4500 dollars. The next batch has a minimum run of 250 so most likely I would get 300 for about 15000 dollars.
I have been intending on doing this for a while now and am moving ahead with it

Are they solid silver? If not what is the percentage? Did you use the Franklin mint?
100% silver. Minted in China.
I will be using a mint in the Midwest for the next batch.

Children of Lir is the next one if I do it. Costs about $1500 for 250 coins. That is the mints minimum number.

This is for the newer members like @jpc who have an interest in finance.

I would be seeking to find like minded people who would join me in a bigger venture.

But for the moment I would like some to consider just this coin.

I was intending for example to post 2 coins home but I would have to fill out a customs form!!!!

The bigger venture would be to build or recreate an irish village of say 15 or 20 houses or cottages with a shebeen. Either owned or timeshares or just rented weekly as airbnb.

Yes it shows great initiative as always Declan, and they are definitely well produced. You know maybe as a simpler thing than an Irish village you could try and do up, even to a lowish standard, some old building where people could stay, patriots or whatever, in numbers, bunk beds even.
Old Irish monasteries and convents etc are sometimes going quite cheap. To create an actual village you are into planning etc etc and that is always going to be very expensive and time consuming?
The obvious thing to do with sarsfieldspub is to expand into a youtube channel and invite guests once a week and that kind of thing?

I am open to all suggestions.

Well I think a youtube channel hosted by yourself would be great. Maybe aiming for just once a week talking about a few news items and maybe invite a guest now and again. I would propose Andy Heasman, the only guy doing any on the ground work opposing vaccine centres right now, Celery Cullen, maybe Fintan Dunne who is a long term follower of international events, people like that?

The village would be in Maine where it would be unique.

But the idea of doing up a derelict building or shack in Ireland is also a good idea now that the property bubble is burst here and will soon be burst in Ireland as well.

I have resources in Ireland and could do that very easily.

As you know. About 10 years ago I interviewed the ENGLISH MEP Ashley Mote and the intellect Wayne Green here in the US. Both since died.

Yes you proved to be an excellent interviewer, so a youtube channel is definitely doable. (Although you have to be prepared to go on say bitchute after a while, because you will probably be banned on YT.)
