# Whisky-Infused Coins The Whisky Coin Contains a Drop of the World's Oldest Vintage Whisky By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2018-09-17 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-whisky-coin References: [thespiritsbusiness](https://www.thespiritsbusiness.com/2018/09/gold-coin-contains-drop-of-worlds-oldest-whisky/) & [lux-coins](https://lux-coins.com/produkt/whisky-coin/) There are tons of collectible coins that have been launched over the years and a new one that stands out is The Whisky Coin, which is more than just a commemorative piece inspired by the spirit. The Whisky Coin is made from two ounces of 99.99% pure gold and includes a glass inset that is infused with a single drop of Old Vatted Glenlivet 1862, which is believed to be the oldest vintage whisky in the world. As far as the design of the coin, The Whisky Coin created by Lux Coin and Perth Mint depicts the process in which the spirit is made. This unique coin is the first of its kind in a series that will contain rare spirits—others include The Rum Coin and The Cognac Coin, both of which are also filled with some of the world's oldest spirits in their respective categories. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.8/10 - Popularity: 97% | Activity: 98% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Collectible Coins:** There is an opportunity for disruptive innovation in creating unique and valuable collectible coins infused with rare spirits. - **Luxury Spirits:** The trend of creating luxury spirits, such as whisky, rum, and cognac, presents opportunities for innovation in packaging and marketing. - **Limited Edition Series:** Designing limited edition series of coins infused with rare spirits can create a sense of exclusivity and increase their collectible value. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Coin Collecting:** The coin collecting industry can explore the potential of incorporating rare spirits in their collectible coins. - **Luxury Spirits and Beverages:** Luxury spirits and beverages industry can explore collaborations with coin manufacturers to create unique and valuable products. - **Packaging and Marketing:** The packaging and marketing industry can find innovative ways to showcase and promote limited edition coins infused with rare spirits. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Opulent Scotch Whiskies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/glenfiddich-1.md) - [NFT-Paired Whiskies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/johnnie-walker-masters-of-flavour.md) - [Ultra-Rare Single-Malt Whiskeys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-glen-grant-splendours-collection.md) - [Luxury Whisky NFTs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dewars.md) - [Luxurious 46-Year-Old Spirits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/limitededition-scotch-whisky.md) - [NFT Scotch Whisky Bottles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/johnnie-walker-release.md) - [Expensive Whiskey Sales](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/emerald-isle-whiskey.md) - [Ultra-Extravagant Scotch Whiskies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/glen-grant-distillery.md) - [Limited-Edition Scotch Whiskeys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/46yearold-scotch-whisky.md)
