Pi 3.14 Coin in Copper
An irrational coin
Feeling irrational? It may be a sine to take some deep breaths and trace pi's digits by hand for a calming sensory experience.
The number pi (π) is a mathematical constant, approximately equal to 3.14159. It is defined in Euclidean geometry as the ratio of a circle’s circumference to its diameter.
Included:
- Pi coin minted in solid copper in West Fork, AR
- Solid Copper - 29 g
- 1.54 in (3.9 cm) diameter
- Antiqued patina
This heavy copper coin feels good in the hand and the pocket. The copper coin blank is pre-tumbled before minting for a smooth edge and then given an antiqued finish.
Each Pi coin comes in its own wax-sealed packaging with useful and useless pi facts.

Our Process
Shire Post Mint coins are struck one at a time in West Fork, Arkansas, USA using solid metals, hand-engraved designs, antique machinery and traditional coining techniques. For antiqued coins, the coloring/patina process is done by hand, and it is both an art and a science so coins will vary slightly. Our unique packaging includes a description of each coin and translations if applicable.
We collaborate with many artists to create our coins. Learn more about our artists.
The copper phi coin is chunky. The number phi on the reverse is impressive!
1.5" copper coin with the Greek letter pi on one side, and a tiny pi in the center of the other side surrounded by the numerical representation of pi in decimal digits spiraling inward towards the center. I love this token. It has a slight and satisfying heft to it. I would like to carry it in my pocket every day, but there's a chance that it may be heavy enough to tear a hole in a typical trousers pocket if kept there long-term. That's not a deal-breaker for me, though.
I am very satisfied with this Pi 3.14 Coin, it is elegant and magical. Thank you very much and congratulations
Amazing detail.
Really good !!!
