Burn In Designs Find Batman’s Big Penny!
June 29, 2016 by brennon
Burn In Designs have been working hard on a big ol' coin for use in the Batcave. Now, you might ask how this came to be - well, look no further than the Batman Animated Series (see video above).
The massive coins is seen here against Batman stranding at around three inches tall. It is engraved on both sides as you can see and is made from plywood.
Being part of Two-Faces plan this means you have to come up with a scenario where this becomes a reality. I can't wait to see this getting added into games!
What do you think of the big coin?

A very interesting piece.
a piece of terrain i didn’t realise i needed until now. Just need a toy t-rex and im set
I loved that episode. One that really captured the mad part of that great series.
Also, just realized Batsie had to free himself in order to not be fatally crushed – possibly – but the two thugs were only bumped by this terribly huge chunk of metal implicating nothing really horrible happened to them…
Yes great episode and nice idea for terrain.
Best part was: Killer Croc: “I threw a rock at him”, everyone stares “It was a big rock!” 😉
Nice idea, although why is the writing on the tails side reversed?
Also, minor nitpick, but the origin of the coin being Two-Face is only in some continuities. In the comics it was part of a scheme of a guy named the Penny Pincher, who few have heard of, and most (myself included) have only heard about as trivia about the coin, so many mistakenly attribute it to Two-Face.
Coins are designed to flip end to end not rotate so the faces are printed opposite of each other.
I know about the Penny Pincher but that was a horrible golden age story that really made no sense. The Two-Face version was allot better. Really who would waste their time stealing pennies in Gotham? 🙂
Actually it was just my eyes playing tricks on me – for some reason it looked like the letters were back to front, but looking again, I can see that they’re upside down. ~.~
Well, in the second picture the whole coin is “upside down” so to speak (if you could claim that there is a “correct” way to look at coins, which I don’t think technically and practically – only ideally).
Would probably be cheaper and easier to just get one of the plastic ones from the coin sets for kids…
or more delicious if you wait till crimbo and buy a bag of giant chocolate coins…
Im all seriousness though i do like that as a bit of terrain
Its cool that it is out there, but other than using it as an objective marker you would need a fairly specific board theme to really use it.
Well, you could do something like the Raiders of the lost Ark thing – with a gigantic coin instead of a stone ball. Or several.
Hell, why restrict yourself to the bat cave anyway? If he did it once, he can do it again. Only trickier and better. Ha, ha, ha…
Are you mad? Don’t you know that once a plan has failed against a superhero you can never, ever use it again!!
;p
