A coin-sized wafer with a Mandelbrot on one side and a Julia set on the other (seeing that these two are two sides of the same coin mathematically), etched to the limits of optical resolution and maybe below.

More of an arts&crafts project but it would be a fun test of our lithography capabilities and possibly a great item to give to donators or display at congress.
