Description:
The goal of this project is to design a desk ornament that is a conversation piece. goo.gl/wc3ueb
There are 3 aspects to this product:
1: The foundation: A rectangle of solid metal. Should have an expensive high end look. A bar of silver is the only thing I can think of as an example foundation. goo.gl/wMySnL
However, I am going for more of a brushed nickel look.
2: The casing that sits on top of the medal foundation. This casing is either made of glass or plastic and will be glued to the medal foundation.
3. $500 in one dollar bills will be inside the glass casing.
The attached image is not high end looking but should give you a basic idea of the kind of product we are looking to develop.
Wants:
Metal foundation dimensions:Height: 1 Inch
Length: 6.5 Inches (estimated)
6.14 Inches is the length of US currency. The width of the foundation will need to be slightly longer to account for the thickness of the glass/plastic casing.
Depth: 3.5 Inches (estimated)
US currency is .0043 inches thick so 500 bills would equal 2.15 Inches. However, we need to account for currency straps every 100 bills as well as the thickness of the glass/plastic casing. There will be a one inch lip on the front of the medal foundation where a name or job title can be engraved.
Glass or plastic casing:
Length: 6.14Inches
Height: 2.61 inches
Width: 2.15 Inches
Don't Wants:
Please consider that this is a decorative item that will likely live in executive offices. The foundation is going to be solid metal and weigh around 4 LB. This product should look expensive but classy. Nothing cheap looking please.

Discussion
I like this idea. From a manufacturing standpoint this might be the best route. Can you show me some additional designs for the base?
hi josch
is there any particular size (thickness) decided for glass/plastic casing. if it is let me know,so that the deign could be more compact and as per your dimensions.
and what process are you going to use for manufacturing this metal foundation. Are you going to get it machined out of casting or will directly opt for casting?
thanks

Just so everyone knows. The money should not be accessible. It is a decorative item that has no point of entry.
number 6 had the idea of sinking the casing into the foundation so the glue is hidden. Try that with yours. I really like the simplicity of your design.
Not crazy about the foundation. Maybe try something more simple like number 8 did but have it sunk in so that it is easily glue-able. The bar over the top is not what I am looking for.
I think the idea of sitting the casing inside the foundation is a great idea from a manufacturing standpoint. Could you provide some other options with the foundation? I need more space for name engraving.
Yes
Hi jochs,
Okay I will make the glass little thinner and remove bottom glass. You means the top foundation must be same size with the glass but extend on the front foundation? I will submit as soon as possible.

Make the glass a little thinner
Take away the bottom glass so that the money sits directly on the medal foundation
Make the foundation flush to the casing on all sides but extend the front. I would like to see what it looks like to have the front of the foundation extended out a little because we are going to be engraving peoples names on the front of the foundation.
Don't use five hundred dollar bills.

Height = 1.52 metres

UAV designs
I am looking for a design on an unmanned aircraft which will have a flight time of over 1hr. It must be able to carry a weight of 7kg and a camera. I know there are loads of uav's on the market so if someone can come up with the 3D plans that then can be made to a working model. I am looking along similar lines as the scan eagle etc. The best design may possibly lead to a private agreement to design a helicopter also.
