Material+Design

Material Design
The material(s) chosen for the coin are identified. All materials must be known metal(s)/alloy(s)/compound(s). All substances that will be used, as well as the mass and percentages of each component, are listed. __Rationale for choices must be well reasoned and explained using physical and chemical properties as well as any other necessary information pertaining to both necessary and desirable properties of the materials.__ At least 2 anti-counterfeiting measures are identified and described in detail. (This section should be no less than 2 frames of the presentation). Images may be added to the description, if applicable, but should not be used as a substitute for the explanation or to increase the number of frames.

The materials we are using are Iron and Copper. The inside of the coin is going to be Iron, and we are coating it with Copper.

10% of the coin will be copper, and 90% of the coin will be Iron. 2.1551 g of Copper, and 17.0361 g of Iron.

http://www.coolmagnetman.com/magconda.htm researched April 7, 10:40 am. density of Iron = 7.87 g/cm3 density of Copper = 8.96 g/cm3

ANTI-COUNTERFEITING MEASURES 1. the word "VATO" is going to be in the middle of the very left star on the tail of the coin. 2. on the side of the coin there is going to be 7 reeds that are spaced .5 cm apart

The inside of the coin is going to be Iron because it is a metal that is found easily, it is easy to shape, and it is cheap to obtain. Copper is going to be used as the coating on our coin because it has a pretty reddish-orange color, its shiny, and it will protect the iron from oxygen, because it doesnt react with many elements. It is also not that expensive to obtain.

4x 4x .25= 4 3.584 g copper per square 28.332g iron per square

3.584x 1 million coins = 3,584,000 grams copper needed to make 1 million coins 28.332x 1 million coins= 28,332,000 grams of iron needed to make 1 million coins
