/pmg/ jokes about having a round made.
Someone posts a joke image.
/pmg/ responds favorably.
No-one knows how to do it.
One guy volunteers to learn how and do it.
[- Bayhorse is shilled and becomes a rugpull. -]
/pmg/ approves the round, all still skeptical.
Months go by, both FUD and support posts are prolific.
Crowdsourcing opens.
Price is high: a mint is hired, a die for a small run has to be sculpted, a die has to be made, shipping has to be estimated.
Some people reluctantly place an order, expecting the famous "rugpull".
Some people have faith and order a dozen or more.
Some people scoff and refuse to support.
Picture posted of the die. Wow - could be real.
Anon posts pictures of the incoming boxes of rounds and capsules.
Skeptics still angry and FUD.
People who ordered start getting shipping notices.
People who ordered start receiving rounds.
Mintanon loses money because underestimated costs.
Mintanon is born.
Skeptics rue not having bought spares to sell, seeing a couple Apus go for over $1k each.
