Though sounding somewhat futuristic, hologram coins have been around for several years. Holograms also appear as a security feature on some paper currency.
The Royal Canadian Mint made a number of holographic gold Maple Leaf bullion coins in 1999 and 2001.
Several private minting companies have created novelty holographic coins from otherwise-regular United States coins. The Home Shopping Network and Amazon.com are good places to find such hologram coins.

I’m the Coin Editor here at TheFunTimesGuide. My love for coins began when I was 11 years old. I primarily collect and study U.S. coins produced during the 20th century.
I’m a member of the American Numismatic Association (ANA) and the Numismatic Literary Guild (NLG) and have won multiple awards from the NLG for my work as a coin journalist. I’m also the editor at the Florida United Numismatists Club (FUN Topics magazine), and author of Images of America: The United States Mint in Philadelphia (a book that explores the colorful history of the Philadelphia Mint). I’ve contributed hundreds of articles for various coin publications including COINage, The Numismatist, Numismatic News, Coin Dealer Newsletter, Coin Values, and CoinWeek.
I’ve authored nearly 1,000 articles here at The Fun Times Guide to Coins (many of them with over 50K shares), and I welcome your coin questions in the comments below!
