The fine print says 'casacius' instead of 'casascius' Huh

Uhh. Not really.

Yes. Really. Look to the left and right of inner circle.

K, you're right. Just saw the small print.

@ Casascius:

Is this code on the back

the public key?

The Casascius 1oz 10BTC Silver Round (w/ Gold B)

I am seriously talking to people IRL who might be willing to take this over. I can delegate a lot of the work of this and still be the only one who controls the private keys. I don't want there to be any possibility that the wrong private key goes inside a coin (it must match the outer label), I have pretty strict controls on this, just in case somebody uses the coin's address as a wallet.

That seems like it might trick some people into thinking they must be counterfeit Tongue

edit: or is the mis-spelling a sneaky trick to catch the counterfeiters out? Wink

No, this is an unfortunate fail of me to recognize that on the proof. I didn't notice it until the first time I blew up an image as big as these ones, and that was a whole two days after I received the holograms. Fortunately I own the domain name "casacius.com" as well...

I think it's unfortunate you're not in the coin business more long term.. I'm hoping for 2012 & 2013 versions with corrected holograms, so the 2011 one becomes more of a collectors item

Looking forward to getting mine anyway!

Those misprinted coins are going to be worth a fortune someday.

The Casascius 1oz 10BTC Silver Round (w/ Gold B)

I have taken some very high resolution images of my physical bitcoins and posted on my website (photo link right at the top of the page).

I suppose I am hoping these might end up becoming prototypical pictures of what bitcoins look like, for example for the media. So I have provided an 18 megabyte zip file with all the photos for download, along with a statement authorizing their commercial and non-commercial use without need for compensation.

https://www.casascius.com

EDIT: I added some more images that show off the metal side - no Casascius holograms showing - very generic Bitcoin images. These turned out well. One sample:
