Heads or QR Code?!
QR Codes really have been popping up everywhere - from street art to awards ceremony dresses – but now the Royal Dutch Mint have introduced a limited edition coin featuring a QR Code! These QR Coded coins are being pressed to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Royal Dutch Mint in Utrecht.
These coins, the largest of which measures 33mm in diameter, all contain a QR Code on the reverse of the coin – imagine tossing a coin to make a decision and calling “Heads or QR”!!
These tiny QR Codes currently link to the website of the Royal Dutch Mint, although the possibilities of where these could link to are limitless. There would be no better way to spread the word about a promotion than by having a QR Code linking to a promotion on coins in circulation!
We are slightly dubious about how easy it will be to scan these coins, as the QR Codes really are tiny, but we still love the idea and it means the coins really capture the current climate, which is exactly what is needed for a commemorative coin. We love it!
