The Idea

We tried making lots of different types of currency. Here are the different ones we made.

Lucky Moons

How we came up with the  idea: 
  • Star-shaped money is difficult to make, but we can get iron easily. In space money needs to be difficult to get. We think star will be good but it will be pointy so will add a circle so that it won’t hurt. We think it would be the perfect money.

Sphere Star

Materials for Sphere Star:
Marble+rock. Aluminum foil on the top because it will make the object shiny, and a yellow star for the base. We will make it on Tinkercad.

Moonstone Dollars

The minimum value is 2. We came up with the idea because even when people are working hard and if they cant have much money then it is unfair.
Usually in the moon we have stars  So we put the star on top of the coin.

Star Crystals

It is made of crystals. We chose this design with crystals because we like crystals and the name is STAR CRYSTAL COIN.

CAD Design

Here are our 3D models. We made models on Tinkercad and printed them on the 3D printers in school.

The Prototyping Process

We had some mistakes with our prototypes, but we fixed them and made our designs better.

Lucky Moons

  1. The M and H were not on the star
  2. The ring and the star were not connected and it is pointy
  3. The M is missing on the coin

Sphere Star

  1. It was too pointy
  2. The circle was too big
  3. The size was OK and it was not pointy

Moonstone Dollars

  1. The first coins had no numbers on them
  2. The second coin was too small and melted on the 3D printer

Star Crystals

  1. One of the crystals was missing
  2. The coin was too small and melted on the 3D printer
  3. The coin was a good size but the crystals were too low down

Jobs and Payment

Money is very important and people need to get money when they have a job.

We planned how much different people would get for different jobs.
