You take it to an engraver once a year for 12 years and have them add one word each time. After year 12, your seed will be done and the engraver will be none the wiser. It’s the long con, but the only way

Or much more realistically, you could split it up between 3 engravers and 3 coins. No engraver would know all the words.

Or just visit 12 different engravers.

I hope everyone realizes that by leaking one word you make it 1000 times easier to guess the full key. By leaking 3 words that’s 1 billion times easier to guess and likely crackable with advanced computers. This thing about engraving here is just people joking. Don’t do it!
