The Cardsmith's Currency Series cards offer redemption for various cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, and Dogecoin. The odds of pulling a crypto redemption card are 1 in 192, making the recent discovery particularly fortunate. This is not the first time such a discovery has been made; three full Bitcoin redemptions have been reported in the last year [2].
The collector, who chose to remain anonymous, has decided to retain only 0.5 BTC of the Bitcoin, honoring a pledge made on Reddit to donate half to charity. The collector stated, "I didn’t think it was a serious possibility," highlighting the unexpected nature of the find [2].
Cardsmith's Series 4 Currency cards are currently sold out online, but the SPACE Series still has unredeemed full Bitcoin cards available for as low as $13.75 [2]. Despite the long odds, the recent discovery serves as a reminder of the potential value hidden within seemingly ordinary purchases.
