They are trapezohedron shaped and were made in several different colors, some of them even in different ink variations. The material is the same as the Chessex opaque urea dice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The story surrounding these dice as I\u2019ve heard it is that they were made for the Danish lottery to randomly roll numbers with them, which was using a 34-numbers system at the time. Shortly after they started being sold, a decision was made to change the Danish lottery to a new system that wasn\u2019t using a total of 34 anymore, so these dice basically became obsolete and production was stopped.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These are the colours that I know exist:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Black (red ink and white ink)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Blue (white ink)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Green (white ink and yellow ink)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Orange (black ink)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Red (white ink)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Yellow (black ink)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-2 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.virtual-dreams.org\/dice\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Danish-Lottery-Dice-d34s.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"646\" data-id=\"7869\" src=\"https:\/\/www.virtual-dreams.org\/dice\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Danish-Lottery-Dice-d34s-1024x646.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7869\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.virtual-dreams.org\/dice\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Danish-Lottery-Dice-d34s-1024x646.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.virtual-dreams.org\/dice\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Danish-Lottery-Dice-d34s-300x189.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.virtual-dreams.org\/dice\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Danish-Lottery-Dice-d34s-768x485.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.virtual-dreams.org\/dice\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Danish-Lottery-Dice-d34s-1536x969.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.virtual-dreams.org\/dice\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Danish-Lottery-Dice-d34s-2048x1292.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.virtual-dreams.org\/dice\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Danish-Lottery-Dice-d34s-847x535.jpg 847w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For the next two weeks, I will make daily posts where I\u2019ll spotlight unusual or lesser known dice that I have in my collection that I hope are interesting for everyone to see and learn about.
