These coins from the Royal Dutch Mint are legal tender and connect you to this site when scanned. It’s going to be hilarious when future archeologists find these and figure that they’re some sort of prayer or an image of a great space god we once worshiped.

They come in silver and gold (5 and 10 euro denominations, respectively) and celebrate the 100th anniversary of the mint.
