I believe the name actually came from Tyce's attempts to spell "CWCki Forum".the name itself was due to Chris fucking it up.
Forgive me if this is a dumb question but what's stopping us from just asking Chris to design one of the sides?
I adore the stockade one and think it’s the absolute best representation of this website in a single imageI'm aggressively pursuing quotes again and to kill some time lets do another poll about the design.

I asked the artists to kick some designs that had a 'masonic' vibe to them as an alternative to Chris.

To be clear, I don't want to do Terry because I feel that's exploitative unless done along the wishes of his family.
I also don't really want to do other living people besides Chris because Chris is the only lolcow on the site I wouldn't mind paying some money for use of their likeness. Someone like Tommy Tooter could and would sue and with some merit, and someone like Jace is just weird because Jan is very much alive and still doing shit with MDE.
The logo is already on the front so to do a reverse without relying on Chris we'd have to get creative.
If I've given people the inclination that these merchandise runs are not to offset the expenses of the forum I apologize but they absolutely are and they do help tremendously.
I do like the idea of providing people some tangible item to prove the community existed, though.
I think the merch beforehand had international shipping but I could be wrong. I haven't ordered any merch before from the farms, but if previous merch run had international shipping then this would probably have it too.Sorry if I'm late, I'm not going to read everything. But, will there be international shipping? For us third-world kiwis.
I know that covid makes everything of that kind harder, but as long as the shipping costs are not preposterous, I'm in.
i quite like the chris-chan ''queen of kiwis'' design on the coin, combining that with the classic logo of KF on the front, it forms the ideal and iconic layout for our first silver coin mint.It needs to be a Chris one. How can it not be? The farms were originally made for him and the name itself was due to Chris fucking it up.
Let's not rule out that this ironically be the C or W coins Chris wrote about in his comic and think how much Chris will talk about it on his twitter thus it giving free advertising to all of his followers and leading to the Chris Chan youtubers/ Christorians talking about it. @Null you'd make a fortune
I like it because Josh will probably be slightly pissed that the design is based on something Anglo. As a filthy Anglo imagining Josh frown at the realisation makes me grini quite like the chris-chan ''queen of kiwis'' design on the coin, combining that with the classic logo of KF on the front, it forms the ideal and iconic layout for our first silver coin mint.
it seems awesome, and its a good tribute to this groups first steps, including its first lolcow.

The past shipping costs for the previous merch runs were 5 dollars for US and Canada, a bit more for Europe and 25 dollars for everywhere else.I think the merch beforehand had international shipping but I could be wrong. I haven't ordered any merch before from the farms, but if previous merch run had international shipping then this would probably have it too.
Design #2 is the best and to be honest I would buy the Kiwi flag in a nanosecond. Alt art looks pretty gay for the coins btw. PLEASE OH GOD PLEASE sell Kiwi flags in a merch run! I'll wave that shit proudly. Regarding the coins it would be dope if they were the size of a military challenge coin.I've been debating what to do for the next merch run and due to the memes of the day I'm looking into a custom silver round mint.
First idea I have was
Front: KF logo and and the text "Kiwi Farms" above / "Fuck the Banks", below
Reverse: CWC's head in profile with a tiara like the Queen of England on Commonwealth coin mints with "In Sonichu we Trust"
Someone suggested $5 over spot for the coin as a sales price (i.e. $27.22 per oz [spot price], $5 markup, then shipping).
I'm not being facetious I am an insane person and I want to mint my own coins for fun. How many people are interested?
Whether or not this goes through depends heavily on manufacturing and what they have as minimum orders.
So, if you happen to be in the industry, email me <jcmoon@pm.me>.
Edit: Quote 1 came in and it's looking pretty dire.
perhaps the most retarded idea I've ever had
First quote I've gotten: Dies $600 each ($1200) Striking fee -$7 per round Silver- $10 over spot Shipping $5 usa Overseas from us. Cost plus $2 Art adjustment fees as needed $0-$125 And I will have to find out if our suppliers still have metal. Will take roughly 6-12 weeks to complete. *Die...kiwifarms.net

Would you guys prefer a fancier design like this for the KF side, or just the logo?
