The collaboration behind the UFO MP-1766 coin has significantly impacted the numismatic industry by introducing the world’s first levitating collectible coin. The successful integration of magnetic levitation into the coin’s packaging not only set a new technological benchmark but also elevated the standard of creativity and innovation in numismatics.
This achievement was made possible through a two-stage process: collaboration with SINGLET Company, responsible for designing the packaging construction to accommodate neodymium magnets, and HCNT Levitation, which conducted extensive testing to ensure the magnets’ strength and stability could support the 7oz coin. The result is a product that seamlessly combines engineering excellence with artistic vision.
Internally, all departments of Mennica Polska worked in unison, from logistics and material procurement to the marketing and launch teams. Their coordinated efforts ensured that the entire coin run sold out within hours of release, marking the project as a commercial and creative triumph.
