Aye, the flaws resulting through the shape are relatively unsubstantial.
Though I'd still like to know how many of those "squares" fit inside a champagne bottle's base. We've got the numbers assuming exactly one triangle fits in there .. but how many do actually fit in there ?
And arent there other shapes thinkable that make better use of the circular space offered by the bottles base ?
Actually, I guess the triangle is the best shape if you lay the coin flat, but more coins would fit in if you put them on their side, as they'll be able to approach the curves more.
Anyway, putting that aside .. your calculations with the asumption you'll put a triangle of coins in there, got you very close to the champagne-price.
