I have the physical coin with this address, still loaded from 2013. Has anyone here registered it? I have the coin ID. If you have the redeem code we can get the sats out.

nobody else should ever have the redemption code except the owner of the physical coin and you can only access this code by peeling off the security seal at the back.
check out the titan website for more information.
it seems like they have produced two types of physical coins. one that has the key on it already:

and another one that requires a 2FA and has a redeem key instead of the private key itself:

i also have that doubt but i have seen tasks that seem simple to me were hard for others (and vice versa) that i try not to judge people fast.

Recently a Casascius coin worth 100.00 BTC was redeemed:

To the OP, are you saying that you have the physical coin but you don't have the code?

Thanks for the pic , any chance of a picture of the other side of the coin? That should show all the relevant details ,thanks again.
Edit - too true BrewMaster - I didn’t mean to be rude - was in a bit of a rush to take the dog out !

I have the coin with a qr on the back which encodes the so called coin ID. that and the redeem code are needed to get the btc out. I think an additional password is also required if set by the person who bought it. Since I'm not sure if that coin ID is something publicly available or is to be kept private I won't share the back of the coin. It was extremely hard to scan it btw.

From what you are suggesting, we can only assume you don’t have a genuine coin.
If it looks like this , it’s not genuine

Hope you’re not trying to scam anyone ?

I don't know how I could scam anyone this way, but yes - the coin looks like what you showed. If it is not genuine how does it have a valid coin ID?

It could easily be a replica of an original coin, so long as somebody knows a single coin ID it is possible to create a copy.

Appears to be the case - probably a Chinese knock off .
Apologies to OP , unfortunately there so many fakes and scams with collectible coins, alarm bells are constantly ringing . No scam here

Thanks to everyone for the info. It's a great souvenir nonetheless and it's interesting that the btc hasn't moved in 6 years. No worries Mbitr. It's great to be wary of such things.
