CJ you said that the last 1000 were minted this way.  What is the total 2015 mintage?

This is our first year (2015), so we've been taking it slow. Only 2,000+ Bitcoin Penny™ commemorative coins minted so far, but we're placing an order for another 1,000+ coins in a few days. That's a grand total of 3,000+. That will probably be the last order for the 2015 version, since we're releasing our new 2016 versions in early November.

However, the first 1,000 did not have the upgraded, protective finish which we prefer (only the best for our coins!), so we stopped selling those back in March. We still use those occasionally as promotional items such as geocaching trinkets or randomly dropping them in Starbucks parking lots. (Personally, I'm fond of leaving them in those countertop "LEAVE-A-PENNY / TAKE-A-PENNY change trays.) In fact, we still have a jar with almost 700 coins from the first 1,000. I've toyed with burying them somewhere, making an old fashioned pirate's treasure map, then auctioning off the treasure map in a few years. Why not? It sounds fun to me. Grin

By the way if anyone hasn't bought this set, well worth it, these are nice and shiny and look great amongst the other coins. Looking forward to 2016.

Thanks for the kind words, wheelz! We look forward to our 2016 versions too. Wink

RE: Bitcoin Penny™ Error Coins (2015)

Hello, everyone. We wanted to take this opportunity to thank you for supporting The Bitcoin Penny Company as well as share with you some information about our past / future Bitcoin Penny™ commemorative coins.

Our current stock is almost gone, so we'll be placing another order with the mint in a few days. However, the new coins will show a slight change from our current stock of 2015 coins.

The last order was supposed to be minted in the traditional "coin-turn" (back is minted upside-down) as specified in our original contract with the mint. However, due to an error at the mint, the last order was accidentally minted as "book-turn" (back side is NOT upside-down). When we received the last order a few months ago, we decided to go ahead and sell the coins without publicly addressing the error. While we prefer the original coin-turn design, we didn't see the error as particularly bad or in any way distracting from the overall beauty of our Bitcoin Penny™ commemorative coins.

At the time, our sales contact as well as the operations manager at the mint apologized for the mint error, and they assured us that all future orders will be minted correctly. We spoke with them again earlier this week regarding our upcoming reorder, and again, they assured us that they will take extra care making sure that the next order of Bitcoin Penny™ commemorative coins will have the correct coin-turn design.

Only ~ 1,000 of the 2015 Bitcoin Penny™ commemorative coins were minted with the error. (All previous orders of our 2015 coins were correct and error-free. It's only the last order that has the error.)

We understand that many of our customers are avid coin collectors who can appreciate all the little, interesting variations in the minting of a particular coin. Therefore, please feel free to consider the 2015 Bitcoin Penny™ error coin as one of those little, interesting variations.

We hope it adds enjoyment to your collection.

Thank you again for supporting The Bitcoin Penny Company. We look forward to many more years of providing the bitcoin community with affordable, high quality Bitcoin Penny™ commemorative coins. Error-free.

Regards,
Christopher

Once you find out, let me know about #5.  Thanks


What numbers of the large rolls do you have left?  I wanted to win that auction yesterday, but I lost track of time.

Do you plan on doing any more auctions in the future?  I'm hitting the batting cage to get ready. :-)

We still have most of the higher number rolls (12-20) available, and I think we may have #5 and #9 available as well. (Those were reserved, but never paid. I'll check this week on the status of those.) It's the 2-Packs and Short Rolls that sell the most. In fact, we'll need to restock soon. Thanks for the reminder. Wink

Sure, we'll have another auction. (Probably a new theme too. Any suggestions?) We can start a new auction tomorrow afternoon.

Isn't it dangerous to lay pennies on a train track? Undecided

Maybe we should put one on a tram track instead? Cheesy
