Bitcoin, about the size of a silver dollar and struck in pure copper. Tokens are uncirculated but not without bag dings. Photo shows both sides but you get one token. One of the most talked-about currencies in the world today isn't even one you can hold in your hand. Bitcoin, a virtual currency used in person-to-person transactions since its introduction in 2009, was made available in 2010 in a popular collection of copper rounds. This is the original 2010 issue designed by Michael Bruce.

These 1 oz Copper Bitcoin Commemorative Rounds have no link to the currency and are not forms of financial currency. Instead, each is a beautiful representation of the crypto-currency.

Bitcoin was created as a type of currency for use only in the digital, or virtual world in 2009. The exact identity of the individual responsible isn't even known today, with only the alias Satoshi Nakamoto listed for credit.

Bitcoins enable people to make anonymous purchases. There are no banks or government entities involved in the issuance of Bitcoin. In fact, Bitcoins aren't even issued as physical currency. Bitcoin only exists as a virtual currency that can be used in transactions between any two people or entities. In fact, merchants have at times opened up to the idea of Bitcoin, enabling people to purchase anything from web hosting service to pizza.

On the obverse of the 1 oz Copper Bitcoin Commemorative Round is the image of the famous Bitcoin symbol. A large letter B with two vertical lines through it, the Bitcoin symbol resembles that of the US dollar ($) in its design. Engravings on this face read Bitcoin Digital Decentralized Peer to Peer, AOCS Approved, and 1 AV oz .999 Fine Copper.

I thought these were long gone but I just unearthed a few while looking for something else.
