PCB on a Quarter

Unknown Reply 8:50 AM

Hackaday picked up this story of a PCB printed directly on a quarter! Which state quarter would make the best blinky light?

As a base layer the printed five passes of insulation on the coin, before printing the traces. Holes are left in the insulation to create a form of via that connects to the coin. On the board is an ATtiny2313 microcontroller that flashes an LED, and on the reverse side of the coin is a CR2032 cell that’s secured with a set of bolts and washers. You can see it taking shape in the video below the break.
