Capital Treasures

Here’s a cool set of self-promotion coins following the likeness of the designer but looking oddly familiar to those coins from Liberia…  Dan “Minister of Industrial Design” Ballou’s business cards, which aren’t cards at all, but metal coins. Fresh! These new business “coins” have dropped and they’re getting a good reaction. The dollar might be a little rocky these days, but don’t worry, the dashdot currency is solid.  Dan said that “Our business cards…. we wanted something fun and memorable. It turned out that we could actually get coins made and keep it in the budget. Super fun.”

Ballou runs a California-based product design studio called Dashdot with clients like simplehuman, Safety 1st, and Rock & Republic. Check out his portfolio on Coroflot.
