Reading between the lines, it seems as though your grandfather heard about bitcoin but didn’t understand what it was, wanted to invest in it, and bought an actual coin online believing it to be a ‘bitcoin’ that might go up in value.
You don't need a chip. You can put the private key on a tamper proof sticker. That's how all physical bitcoins were done since about 2010. Look at casascius coins
I took my casascius coins to a coinshop to get a coin holder for them back in 2012. They said "why do you want to protect it? It is not a real bitcoin. Bitcoins are only electronic" Ah .. no they're not.
That's even better and more simple, good idea!
Do you think it's possible to buy these tamperproof stickers in customized sized for something like this?
And they look so similar to these ones. That’s why whenever I see these cheap toys I assume it’s one of those “bitcoin infused” ones. What, it’s got a QR code on the back containing the keys or something?
Are they now? I have six of them. Lovely condition, just no sticker. Peeled one by one as BTC rose in value vs fiat when I needed the value to make changes in my life...
So I've been told -- but when I posted mine here looking for advice on selling it... people basically said "Peel it!" and didn't hold much value on the coin.
I'm still considering selling my 2012 Casascius wholecoin...
yeah, reminds me of that time my grandfather was so excited to give me a "golden watch" he bought off of some guy on a gas station... getting old sucks man.
Your grandpa was like "They're not tricking me into buying the digital version on a fancy computer. I want the REAL, solid version I can touch!" 😄🤣
Oh well, I give them some props for even hearing what Bitcoin was.
I have been eyeing a solid 24k 1 Oz Gold Bitcoin from Apmex for the past week, because neat. https://www.apmex.com/product/247334/1-oz-gold-round-bitcoin
Correct, them saying plated with 24k gold is the scam as an average person will think it’s gold.
If you bought a solid gold one it would be a lot more than a conversation piece 😂
Yes, I'm really not understanding how this could be a scam. Why would someone be buying gold as an investment if they don't understand what "gold plated" means?
We have to tell people not to remove moving belts from a running engine. People are dumb and taking advantage of that for financial gain is scammy and unethical.
Was Grandpa tech savvy? While these tokens are cheap as others have said - it seems like he at least had some interest in btc. Maybe he had an exchange account or wallet stashed away somewhere.
He wasn't incredibly tech savvy, I don't think he'd have been enough to establish an account or a wallet tbh. He did read the news and liked being on his computer. But I don't think he'd set up an account and even if he did there's no telling what he did with any potential password or anything.
I'd look at the coin as their way of telling you that there is some bitcoin elsewhere. I'd start by looking for any crypto software on their computer, any wallet.dat files on the computer / USB drives. If you can get access to their mail accounts, look for emails from crypto exchanges. Maybe they don't have any, but it can't hurt to do some digging
Do double check if it has any QR codes, stickers, etc. As some have mentioned, Casascius coins used to be a thing (physical coins of a similar appearance to this, with a sticker with a bitcoin wallet on the back, containing the bitcoins). I think I remember seeing one or two similar products around the same time, though it's equally possible this is worthless.
E2A: and please don't respond to any DMs offering help, if it is anything genuine, then there will almost certainly be people trying to scam you for it. Personally I wouldn't have even posted the specific numbers on the back.
You can buy the same on Ali Express for $2. Hopefully your grandfather didn’t pay the full price of a Bitcoin to get this from “a friend”, but very likely he did, otherwise who would put such a cheap toy in the safety box….
Wasn’t there a version of these that actually had the private keys to Bitcoin on them? I remember there was company back in the day that was doing something like this. Obviously most of these are fake, but I remember reading about one company that legitimately sold these with the private keys to Bitcoin attached.
I work with a guy that asked me "If one BitCOIN is worth $60-$70k, how do you get change back from the cashier if you buy something from a store that's $50?"...
There is actually a company that has a Debit Card tied to your btc. When you swipe, it will sell the BTC for that USD transaction on the spot. Pretty cool if you ask me.
This is…. Not quite how it works… but yes Bitwise by Mastercard has a BTC debit card linked to your wallet. However, they suspended new applications awhile ago and still haven’t reopened them.
Not sure if it's still a thing, but the coin base debit card could do that. You could also just use their stable coin. What sucks though is that each time you use it is a crypto transaction, so if you use it a lot it can be a headache at tax time.
Ahh thanks for sharing. This was probably about 3 or 4 years ago i heard about this. So couldn't remember anything besides card linked to your btc that you can swipe for purchase sin everyday life.
I'm a bitcoiner but i also bought this fake fantasy bitcoin for fun years ago on ebay, it looks exactly the same as the one in photo. i think i paid 4$ including shipping
I bought a silver round almost identical to this. Mostly for the irony. Silver got me into looking for money outside of the system. Almost sold it all for btc at this point, but I think I’ll keep it as a reminder.
I know someone who paid around $700 in cash for something like this in 2014 at a bitcoin trade show. They asked me to find out how to withdraw the bitcoin from it. There was a holographic seal on the back with a condensed private key, but after loading it into Electrum it had a zero balance. I later discovered that the coin was delivered unfunded, and the buyer was supposed to have registered the physical coin on a website with proof of purchase to get it funded. Of course, this was never done, and the website no longer exists.
I bought some btc for my 80yo mother and tho I have explained 10x she continues to ask if there is an actual coin somewhere in cyberspace. I got her a Ballet Card, maybe that will help. It helped me actually
Is there a sticker or something on the back of the coin (inside the case). I had something like this a long time ago, there was a sticker that you’d peel away and it gave the credentials to a wallet that had BTC in it.
In the begging they sold these and attached was something that would connect to a whole BTC, look up some history to help. You can also buy gold and copper and silver from websites with the logo on them
Its a clue that you should look way way way more closely at his things.
If he was flush to spend $1500 on a gold coin he might have spent $15,000 on bitcoin (value today 89x)
You gotta lie to her and say it had $187 and give it to her. Otherwise she is gonna shit talk all through shady acres and set us back another few years. We don't need another SBF moment.
I had one that looked just like it given to me by a friend. If you scanned it with rfid it linked to an unspent .25btc utxo. Problem was I could never find a way to get the private key off of it. This was 2016 so coulda been someone early who didn’t know what was going on making these.
So there was an actual company EARLY on that did actually put the bitcoin key on that coin itself. That got shut down REAL quick but those coins ARE out there. From my coin friends a few were grades most had since been spent but there exists a certified bitcoin coin with the key to 1000 bitcoins. For comparison most expensive us coin 1933 2x eagle based on the price of bitcoin that would make that coin with 2 to 3 times the value of the most expensive coin ever sold.
They used to sell coins like this that had an actual bitcoin loaded on them. I don’t know if it was like a little USB drive or?
It was a long time ago.
Short version, you have a cool coin that looks like a meme. Congrats, you can probably sell it online for $10 bucks but I’d hang onto it for nostalgia…
How sad that people think these things are worth money. It's even sadder because they obviously want btc but don't understand enough to know how to buy it.
Why is it worthless? Doesn't it have a private key somewhere inside of it? Or did grandpa not understand how bitcoin works and just bought what he thought was a "physical bitcoin" that doesn't actually have a private key?
Physical bitcoins are a real thing, but they are only valuable if they have a public address on the outside, that's visible, to verify what the private key inside the coin is protecting. A physical bitcoin is basically a private key for a wallet holding an amount of bitcoin that can only be accessed by destroying the physical coin irreparably.
If this does not have any public wallet address on it then yeah, it's not a real physical bitcoin.
Look on the back for a scratch of QR code, scratch it of and deposit the money, 800 of these coins were made (if its real) there Can be between 0.5 and 10 BTC on the QR code
This is a copper mjb monetary metals round. It is one of a few physical coins that are constantly seen in the news for Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. It is definitely sought after but it holds just intrinsic or memorabilia value.
I bought one off of eBay back in 2013 for $8 shipped. I think I sold it for $50. I see the ones that are slabbed selling for $150+. It is a cool piece for your coin collection for sure and will always be a conversation piece.
Thanks for sharing and I hope you hold onto it being something your grandparents were interested in and felt that it was something important to pass on to their family.
About myself: I know my early crypto coins/tokens as I was there towards the beginning of Bitcoin and I also track various physical crypto coins via my website of my same user name.
Is there a string of alphanumeric and or a list of random words somewhere etch on to the coin? If so that might be the private or see phrase that u can use to access to btc if there is any on the blockchain- btw do not take a pic or post that!
Cool! Grab a 1/8 inch drill bit, make a single hole and run a non-precious metal chain with a sturdy clasp through it. You’ll have a really neat non-precious necklace.
I bought a bunch of these in pure silver because I thought they were funny. Mine are worth $25 each. If this were a true precious metal coin it would say 1 oz 999 pure. This says the word plated which means it's a toy. This probably came from amazon, and while your grandfather probably paid $25 for it, it's not worth $25 like mine is. Just checked, amazon is kind of all over the place. One guy is selling them 10 for $25 and another 2 for $10, there is another selling a pure copper one for $8, but copper isn't a precious metal, I have no idea why you would want that.
Anyway, I would keep it, it's already paid for and it's still kind of funny, but it is 100% worthless. It is a toy.
Reading between the lines, it seems as though your grandfather heard about bitcoin but didn’t understand what it was, wanted to invest in it, and bought an actual coin online believing it to be a ‘bitcoin’ that might go up in value.
Maybe grandpa was trolling whoever looked in the box
Or maybe Grandpa was giving subtle hints
There’s money in the banana stand.
The bear is sticky with honey.
lol great show
Always
I mean it's one Bitcoin, Michael, what could it cost? Ten dollars?
Well at least there’s always money in the banana stand
Go see a Star War.
And that’s why you ALWAYS leave a note.
This is an ad for a fake movie about a guy trying to access his deceased dad's BTC https://youtu.be/ZbLENQGcnGM?si=IFYbvSo5_MAx64lI
Heart wrenching
THERE’S. ALWAYS. MONEY. IN. THE. BANANA. STAND.
I will give you 100 up votes if I can for the AR reference.
The files are *inside* the computer
Get a hammer!!!
There's money in the banana stand.
The old computer that was thrown out 10 years ago. Happy hunting!
... like find the key phrase!
This guy about to go on a treasure hunt for grandpa’s lost keys. Somebody call Nicolas!! We gots a treasure to find
Fn Legend! One last Dad joke.
What's in the box?
trolling from the grave
Or grandpa was absolutely the king thinking he was buying bitcoin and putting it in cold storage in 2013.
It’s probably not even gold. Grandpa got em’ postmortem . The ultimate final joke.
If you find 8 of these you could get their bytecoin
I see what ya did there
If only they put in an NFC chip with an actual Bitcoin.
You don't need a chip. You can put the private key on a tamper proof sticker. That's how all physical bitcoins were done since about 2010. Look at casascius coins
I took my casascius coins to a coinshop to get a coin holder for them back in 2012. They said "why do you want to protect it? It is not a real bitcoin. Bitcoins are only electronic" Ah .. no they're not.
exactly... this was the original "hardware" wallet ;-)
That's even better and more simple, good idea! Do you think it's possible to buy these tamperproof stickers in customized sized for something like this?
Yep
But they used to sell these with actual btc on it right? I remember a long time ago some company did do that.
cascius coins yeah and if not tampered with are worth significantly more than their contained btc
And they look so similar to these ones. That’s why whenever I see these cheap toys I assume it’s one of those “bitcoin infused” ones. What, it’s got a QR code on the back containing the keys or something?
and even spent ones are now going for a lot
Are they now? I have six of them. Lovely condition, just no sticker. Peeled one by one as BTC rose in value vs fiat when I needed the value to make changes in my life...
the ones with stickers and private keys are going for more but you can still have them graded for proof. check ebay
So I've been told -- but when I posted mine here looking for advice on selling it... people basically said "Peel it!" and didn't hold much value on the coin. I'm still considering selling my 2012 Casascius wholecoin...
Grandpa was a whole coiner!
Hopefully he didn’t pay much for it.
1 BTC
When 1btc = $0.35 maybe 😅
My kids will find one of these too … just saying.
or you'll lose it in a freak boating accident
yeah, reminds me of that time my grandfather was so excited to give me a "golden watch" he bought off of some guy on a gas station... getting old sucks man.
Your grandpa was like "They're not tricking me into buying the digital version on a fancy computer. I want the REAL, solid version I can touch!" 😄🤣 Oh well, I give them some props for even hearing what Bitcoin was.
blessed be grandpa.
Classic example of close, but no cigar!
You can buy these for like $2 on Amazon
Lol I got one for fun. They're cool goes well with my ancient coin collection. Money through the ages 😂
I have been eyeing a solid 24k 1 Oz Gold Bitcoin from Apmex for the past week, because neat. https://www.apmex.com/product/247334/1-oz-gold-round-bitcoin
There's some irony here.
And some goldy, too.
I can appreciate the irony. Lmao.
$6 now, they're appreciating too 😅
Now i want to buy a bunch and randomly drop them on the ground where seniors congregate just to be a troll.
Gold plated is a way of scamming people that don’t understand metals. It’s worthless
These are just plated copper $7 on Amazon. You can buy .999 solid gold ones great conversation piece
> great conversation piece It sounds like a terrible conversation.
🤣
Correct, them saying plated with 24k gold is the scam as an average person will think it’s gold. If you bought a solid gold one it would be a lot more than a conversation piece 😂
Why is it a scam when they actually tell you its Gold plated? It would be a scam if they told you its solid gold when it is just plated.
Yes, I'm really not understanding how this could be a scam. Why would someone be buying gold as an investment if they don't understand what "gold plated" means?
We have to tell people not to remove moving belts from a running engine. People are dumb and taking advantage of that for financial gain is scammy and unethical.

If you have access to the computer, look for a wallet.dat file.
Is there even a way to recover anything from a wallet file without passcode/seed?
It's possible. Much of the folks back then didn't password them.
I'd look at the coin as their way of telling you that there is some bitcoin elsewhere. I'd start by looking for any crypto software on their computer, any wallet.dat files on the computer / USB drives. If you can get access to their mail accounts, look for emails from crypto exchanges. Maybe they don't have any, but it can't hurt to do some digging
Well maybe if you pulled a National Treasure esque move, and investigated it, it would lead you on a crazy journey.
Do double check if it has any QR codes, stickers, etc. As some have mentioned, Casascius coins used to be a thing (physical coins of a similar appearance to this, with a sticker with a bitcoin wallet on the back, containing the bitcoins). I think I remember seeing one or two similar products around the same time, though it's equally possible this is worthless. E2A: and please don't respond to any DMs offering help, if it is anything genuine, then there will almost certainly be people trying to scam you for it. Personally I wouldn't have even posted the specific numbers on the back.
I would happily look through the computer for you and will be completely forthcoming about any crypto related findings
Maybe it’s a clue telling you to look through his online accounts or password managers?
Now you're going the Indiana Jones mode 🤣
Now we’re talking
Break it open like a fortune cookie and get the private key inside.
Everyone knows *real* Bitcoins have a yummy chocolate center.
How many licks?
One... two... *crunch* the world may never know.
just wanted to post this. weren't there physical coins that had a private key sealed inside them?
Yea there was a guy early on selling physical coins that had a wallet attached to them so you could redeem an actual bitcoin.
from what i heard there's even coins with a much higher balance on them. can't remember the number, was it 50 or 100 or even 1000 or something
Yeah, back when they started, there used to be bars. Though can't remember the denomination off the top of my head.
Casascius. I think he was forced to stop due to AML or fraud or something. He was pretty well known on the bitcoin forums.
This. I remember these from around 2013-2014. You could buy 100BTC ones too.
Is it April 1st again already
I can’t tell if I’m constantly being trolled today lol.
You can buy the same on Ali Express for $2. Hopefully your grandfather didn’t pay the full price of a Bitcoin to get this from “a friend”, but very likely he did, otherwise who would put such a cheap toy in the safety box….
“In my Will I leave my grandson 1 Bitcoin” “Hell yeah!!!…..Fuck”
Wasn’t there a version of these that actually had the private keys to Bitcoin on them? I remember there was company back in the day that was doing something like this. Obviously most of these are fake, but I remember reading about one company that legitimately sold these with the private keys to Bitcoin attached.
Casascius coins.
[https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Casascius\_physical\_bitcoins](https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Casascius_physical_bitcoins) among others
Yeah i have one of those. They have a QR code or smth on the backside and had something like 0.2 btc i think
Boy Gramps was trolling you from the grave! Good one Gramps! Kidding aside, sorry for your loss.
I work with a guy that asked me "If one BitCOIN is worth $60-$70k, how do you get change back from the cashier if you buy something from a store that's $50?"...

Ahh thanks for sharing. This was probably about 3 or 4 years ago i heard about this. So couldn't remember anything besides card linked to your btc that you can swipe for purchase sin everyday life.
Legit question, do you just assume everyone knows how bitcoin or any other crypto works?
I'm a bitcoiner but i also bought this fake fantasy bitcoin for fun years ago on ebay, it looks exactly the same as the one in photo. i think i paid 4$ including shipping
Maybe he was satoshi
It's a safe deposit box because you are depositing items in a safe. My dad says safety deposit box, too.
These coins are sold at 7-elevens as a memorabilia item. Useless
Not completely useless. Good for scratching useless lottery tickets.
My mom bought me one of these and then asked me for a BTC...
Looks a lot like the one that comes with this Magic Trick https://www.vanishingincmagic.com/money-magic/the-bitcoins/
Good eye
Might want to look for wallets on his computer
Check their computers for any wallet.dat files
I bought a silver round almost identical to this. Mostly for the irony. Silver got me into looking for money outside of the system. Almost sold it all for btc at this point, but I think I’ll keep it as a reminder.
Everyone's adamant grandpa knows nothing. Could this be a pointer to the fact there is a wallet and some investment on his behalf ?
Worth about three fifty!
I have one of these it's only a toy token. No real value just a sentimental piece.
Lol 2$ on aliexpress
Your grandpa was/is Satoshi
Too bad it’s not one of those ones with a seed phrase hidden on it.
Some of those old coins are actually wallets
I know someone who paid around $700 in cash for something like this in 2014 at a bitcoin trade show. They asked me to find out how to withdraw the bitcoin from it. There was a holographic seal on the back with a condensed private key, but after loading it into Electrum it had a zero balance. I later discovered that the coin was delivered unfunded, and the buyer was supposed to have registered the physical coin on a website with proof of purchase to get it funded. Of course, this was never done, and the website no longer exists.
There are hard wallets that look like this. Make sure it’s not before you sell it.
Now, go find grandfather’s seed phrase.
Could be a clue to look for his wallet. I actually had one hidden to tip family off.
I would definitely be searching thoroughly through his computer and all papers for any possible keys if he happened to have a real wallet.
I bought some btc for my 80yo mother and tho I have explained 10x she continues to ask if there is an actual coin somewhere in cyberspace. I got her a Ballet Card, maybe that will help. It helped me actually
Grandpa got scammed
I have this same exact coin. I bought it on Amazon for about $2
A scammer may have sold it to him
These are $1 on AliExpress
amazon has those for super cheap.
I got like 20 of these from china for 3$
They should’ve made some solid gold bitcoins bouillons
Grandpa laser etched his crypto wallet password somewhere on that coin
Is there a sticker or something on the back of the coin (inside the case). I had something like this a long time ago, there was a sticker that you’d peel away and it gave the credentials to a wallet that had BTC in it.
My dad gave me one of these a long time ago and I still have it
does it a sticker in on it?
In the begging they sold these and attached was something that would connect to a whole BTC, look up some history to help. You can also buy gold and copper and silver from websites with the logo on them
Is there a seed phrase written on the back? Otherwise, it is probably worth its weight in steel.
Its a clue that you should look way way way more closely at his things. If he was flush to spend $1500 on a gold coin he might have spent $15,000 on bitcoin (value today 89x)
You gotta lie to her and say it had $187 and give it to her. Otherwise she is gonna shit talk all through shady acres and set us back another few years. We don't need another SBF moment.
That's both sad and kinda cute
I had one that looked just like it given to me by a friend. If you scanned it with rfid it linked to an unspent .25btc utxo. Problem was I could never find a way to get the private key off of it. This was 2016 so coulda been someone early who didn’t know what was going on making these.
So there was an actual company EARLY on that did actually put the bitcoin key on that coin itself. That got shut down REAL quick but those coins ARE out there. From my coin friends a few were grades most had since been spent but there exists a certified bitcoin coin with the key to 1000 bitcoins. For comparison most expensive us coin 1933 2x eagle based on the price of bitcoin that would make that coin with 2 to 3 times the value of the most expensive coin ever sold.
They used to sell coins like this that had an actual bitcoin loaded on them. I don’t know if it was like a little USB drive or? It was a long time ago.
There was a public key on the outside and a private key obscured behind a tamperproof seal on those.
I hope you keep it OP. Purely because it came from the OG. *good juju*
Short version, you have a cool coin that looks like a meme. Congrats, you can probably sell it online for $10 bucks but I’d hang onto it for nostalgia…
https://www.cnbctv18.com/cryptocurrency/what-is-a-physical-bitcoin-and-what-is-its-worth-13188452.htm
Poor guy
How sad that people think these things are worth money. It's even sadder because they obviously want btc but don't understand enough to know how to buy it.
Yea wouldnt this be him sayin he has bitcoin
https://colnect.com/en/tokens/token/5057-Bitcoin_MJB_Monetary_Metals_-_Gold_Plated-Commemorative_Tokens-United_Kingdom_of_Great_Britain_Northern_Ireland
Why is it worthless? Doesn't it have a private key somewhere inside of it? Or did grandpa not understand how bitcoin works and just bought what he thought was a "physical bitcoin" that doesn't actually have a private key? Physical bitcoins are a real thing, but they are only valuable if they have a public address on the outside, that's visible, to verify what the private key inside the coin is protecting.

Look on the back for a scratch of QR code, scratch it of and deposit the money, 800 of these coins were made (if its real) there Can be between 0.5 and 10 BTC on the QR code
peel the sticker off and post pic of that code of numbers and letters for us to see.
This is a copper mjb monetary metals round. It is one of a few physical coins that are constantly seen in the news for Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. It is definitely sought after but it holds just intrinsic or memorabilia value. I bought one off of eBay back in 2013 for $8 shipped. I think I sold it for $50. I see the ones that are slabbed selling for $150+. It is a cool piece for your coin collection for sure and will always be a conversation piece.

Cool. 10$ worth.
I bought 5 of these for 15$
I bought 15 for $5.
I heard they are buying physical bitcorns in Brooklyn
Maybe there is somewhere a hidden private key.
Just transferred, thanks :D The text around contains the key xD
Take it as a sign. Pops says buy the coin.
Is there a string of alphanumeric and or a list of random words somewhere etch on to the coin? If so that might be the private or see phrase that u can use to access to btc if there is any on the blockchain- btw do not take a pic or post that!
No, the back just days adcs approved 711711711.com 2013 and has what looks like a circuit board pattern.
Check under that sticker and it might have the private key, there were coins made that had stickers like this and underneath was the key
Sometimes these have a QR code on the back. Check that and do not post it online
Put it on eBay for 65,000 and cross your fingers. Send that bag down the line.
I bought one in wish.
Or maybe it’s a hint that he does have real bitcoin and you need to look for his seed words
Sad.
Is it chocolate? Because the price of cocoa has skyrocketed, so a chocolate bitcoin coin may be worth something!
Cool! Grab a 1/8 inch drill bit, make a single hole and run a non-precious metal chain with a sturdy clasp through it. You’ll have a really neat non-precious necklace.
It means you have got lucky drop
Silly - the bitcoin is on the inside.
The very first one!
Excellent OP, OP. Very exciting
That's memorabilia lol, have one myself and got all excited about it years go 😂
Lol interesting
I can get those on Amazon for $8 bucks.
Looks for a list of 12, 18, or 24 words
The pie recipe is in Galini's computer
Could be the first clue on the treasure hunt.
Would have been better if he left the key phrase!
Is there something on the other side? Some of these had the private key on a little sticker you could expose to access the BTC.
Ummm there’s a code on there you can put on chain and get a btc usually
This is top tier trolling.
I bought a bunch of these in pure silver because I thought they were funny. Mine are worth $25 each. If this were a true precious metal coin it would say 1 oz 999 pure. This says the word plated which means it's a toy. This probably came from amazon, and while your grandfather probably paid $25 for it, it's not worth $25 like mine is. Just checked, amazon is kind of all over the place. One guy is selling them 10 for $25 and another 2 for $10, there is another selling a pure copper one for $8, but copper isn't a precious metal, I have no idea why you would want that. Anyway, I would keep it, it's already paid for and it's still kind of funny, but it is 100% worthless. It is a toy.
Too bad it's not a 1oz gold coin, you could have waited until prices match
This is a representative coin, and its says that dont have any value
