Cardsmiths has launched a patriotic new drop that blends collectible art with real cryptocurrency prizes. The trading card maker’s Currency Series 6 — produced in partnership with America250, the congressionally established group coordinating the United States’ 250th-anniversary events — arrives in time for the semiquincentennial of the Declaration of Independence.
The set includes 90 base cards and more than 120 unique designs that highlight the people, currencies, markets and cultural forces that shaped American and global economies. Visual contributors range from street art star Mr. Brainwash to illustrators Jon McTavish and Thomas Zahler. As a nod to 1776, limited-edition specialty packages are individually serial-numbered up to 1,776.
True to Cardsmiths’ recent releases, Currency Series 6 randomly hides crypto redemption cards in packs. These cards can be redeemed for Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin or Dogecoin, with top prizes including a full Bitcoin and a full Ethereum token — valued at roughly $66,600 and $1,900, respectively, at the time of the drop. Decrypt and others have previously reported collectors finding full-Bitcoin redemption cards in inexpensive packs sold through retailers like GameStop.
Two-pack collector boxes for the new series start at $37. “With this milestone release, we're making history with history,” Cardsmiths co-founder and CEO Steve Loney said, underscoring the crossover appeal for traditional collectors and crypto enthusiasts alike.
