Casascius coins improved holograms with Eight-digit "firstbits" inkjetted onto surface and a greater range of coins and even bars were released with Private key of 22 character string inside the coin, the bit private key is SHA string.
Early adopters bought large denomination products in multiples, including 1, BTC gold coins and later on produced smaller denominations of 0.
When redeemed, the item loses its digital worth. Casascius coins were originally made available in multiple increments of BTC stored on the minted piece. Taking inspiration from Casascius, there have been numerous other small mints producing physical bitcoins as well as alt-coins.
Due to FinCEN requests, he stopped most sales in You can find these online on sites like eBay, Amazon and, from individual owners on forums such as bitcointalk. September 6th of on bitcointalk forums these coins were first posted for sell https: There is an ultra-rare type in which the firstbits are not in the middle, but printed 33 mm higher than normal this is significantly higher on the hologram.
Only five of these exist. This is the rarest Casascius coin. These are the first experiment coins and used to test holograms to reveal the honeycomb pattern left behind, without ever being funded. This new version utilizes a hologram with a small window to prove the presence of the first-bits and private key inside, making it impossible to rub the first-bits off and fraudulently print a new public key onto the hologram.
I have had the privalage to see one of these first hand and the beauty of it. Wish I had a k USD to buy one. The thing I love about physical coins is the statement they make about the era in which they were minted. They say so much about history - I've learned things I'd never have imagined researching without first wanting to understand what a coin was telling me. Yes i always love coin collections when i discovered these i was very impressed with the idea and designs.

Alright i got it but i need you to code it, its going to be AI but i believe i have the equation to run the new blockchain hardfork that will replace the internet.
Tell me why tho, i have had inspired ideas and have drawn pictures of things in moments of inspiration that i had no reference for until i saw your posts? Because when i saw these coins, i got back in my notebook and the similarities are uncanny. I drew these coins in operation, similar designs and then some more things i still am not sure of. I dont want to sound crazy but this may be a case of the future altering the past present.
From Mesopotamian shells, to Attic coins, to Ming Dynasty paper money, and now to hologram-engraved tokens? We really are in the future, aren't we? Phisical coin is my honest view is not as safe as electronic version of currency. Because as you mentioned fake one is also in market. I couldn't figure it out how physical coin is linked with block chain to maintain record about owner.
Yes these are mostly seen as collectable items and should be verified or purchased from a reputable seller. We can create the coin to have and be composed of a unique personal identifiable, from the molecular level creation in which replicates and reproduces itself, being aware by us its every operation by neural connection.
I wondered whatever happened to these. Should have snapped on or two up when they first came out Nice post, Nice hint for someone whose planning to be crypto coin collector. Keep up the good post. I know very little about physical coins, so keep these posts coming! I already know so much more than I did just from your last couple posts: BTC is now falling. An amazing asset to say the least, collectors will now be on the look out for unique physical coins. There are many others i will be posting about i can give you some resources to find good deals on some of the physical bitcoins you can find quite a few here https: I noted that sales are and should be via Escrow since dealing with an asset this is the safest manner of transacting.
Yes there are trusted 3rd parties and many deals are being done in person as the value of the coins has sky rocketed! Many things i learning in this post. It's really help us. Thanks for sharing this kind of good post There so amazing I always read about a physical coin but couldn't find a proper pic anywhere.
Yes no doubt should try to get them verified before buying and make sure to buy from a reliable seller. Man you are awesome! My tax classes are at night, and I haven't been able to visit the room so far.
I bring this up because I want to say that the chills that I feel when I see photos of the Internet room are the same chills that I feel when I see these early coins. We got to be here for the beginning of Bitcoin. I am reminded of an earlier life when some of us were huddled in the cave, and Grog walked in holding a stick.
On the end of the stick was a flame, and we were like, "Grog, WTF! As Grog held the stick closer, and we began to get warm, I recall stating, "Grog, you the man!
And even though some of us died of smoke inhalation that weekend, I knew the fire thing was going to be big. Are you active on bct they have a large group of collectors there and you can find great deals on coins!
