parabolic currency

 On one side of the coin, put a depression.

This would be a coin with, on one side, a parabolic dish. The other side would be decorated as usual. The die for the coin would have to be made differently (in the us at least) - instead of just lathing it out, they will have to polish the die.

This parabolic currency would be interesting. Different denominations could have different focal lengths.

       Let's make coins out of chocolate, kid's eat them anyway, why fight it?

       I always get them confused, would that be coincave or coinvex?   

       These might attain a high coinage and then become popular with collectors.
