Most Expensive Dice

Written by: jeremy Filed Under: Collectibles, World on December 27th, 2007

Dice have come in many different shapes and sizes over the year, particularly those used in war games and the role-playing games that followed them. From the gold-plated, six-sided die to the colossal, and somewhat awkward, 100-sided die, there has always been some special die for gaming enthusiasts to drool over. Iriso Seimetsu, a Japanese company, has created exactly that. Smaller than a pencil lead (as shown), these dice make up for their diminutive size with an enormous 100,275 yen (around $880) price tag. Yes, these tiny dice are the most expensive dice in the world.

The smallest and most expensive die in the world

Each of these expensive dice is made of 0.00016 grams of brass. The six sides of each die measure in at 0.3 mm each, with 0.05 mm pips. Even with the latest micromachine technology, these dice take nine hours each to produce.

Second most expensive dice
It’s made of meteors!

The second most expensive dice in the world are offered by Crystal Caste, a company specialized in dice made from precious materials. Their 16mm d20 Meteorite Dwarven Stones are, as their title suggests, twenty-sided dice made of meteorite. Despite the title, though, it’s doubtful that dwarves were actually involved in the making of these dice.

The Meteorite Dwarven Stones can be ordered for $200 through Crystal Caste’s website. The most expensive die in the world may be ordered, with an accompanying case, through Nippon Style—if you know Japanese.
