Title: [INFO] Question: How many Physical Bitcoin coins have been created?
Post by: Kazkaz27 on March 28, 2024, 09:03:24 PM
How many Physical Bitcoin coins have been minted across every single maker? A reasonable guestimate.
An attempt to account for these coins.
 :)

I guess you would have to basically start here, but the number in total probably is not correct, since some makers have no known coin addresses etc.

Looking at the list, there are definitely a few more makers missing.
A good resource that may take a little time is to just start at the earliest Collectibles threads and go page by page....
There have been quite a few notable and infamous makers over the years who are not on your list.
Will hopefully have time to update this next week.

If you don't have a copy of the Encyclopedia of Physical Bitcoins, it is a good place to start

You can see a list of all the makers I've added to the coin wiki here: https://wiki.coin.community/Category:Maker

It's not a complete list by far, but it will have some you're missing.

You quite possibly will never get the true estimate.  Lots of makers have made prototypes or weren't for public release and unknown as to how many of a certain coin has been made.  I applaud your effort and would be interested in seeing the depth of coins from some makers.  I can try to tally up how many I've made over the years.

I agree. I'll attempt to get as true of an estimate as I can here. It will take some time and some doing but It will be a good guide into the future if completed and maintained. I appreciate all your help  :)

I have a spreadsheet of all makers, their data, and sales for the past three years. If I count using this data then the answer is approximately 561,670.

However, there are a lot of holes which include: 1. the creators actually do not know how many they made or they do not want to publish the data. 2. Creators that did not set a mintage but just mint on demand. 3. What is actually qualified as a physical bitcoin (for example, do you count Coined Bits, Anonymous Mint, Silver Shields - they may mint unlimited amounts of these rounds forever)?

For the NastyFans Minted Seats you should probably use the source data instead of linking to a 3rd party website.  Here's the actual source data link if you wanted it: https://nastyfans.org/mint.json

they were poker chips actually. 100 sets of 5 chips and then 100 sets of 2 chips (error colors from the set of 5)
and then I made the pepe flyer coins as a commission for minerjones

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5284106.0 - for the set of 5

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5403370.0 - for the set of 2

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5472634.0 - for the pepe flyer coins

I do need to do some more and do something creative. The fiat job consumes too much of my time - need that 1 million USD BTC then I can walk away lol

Thats awesome! I'm a big fan of the poker chip style myself :)
You need to grab a high power laser like Mojo and start engraving some coins, that would be a fun endeavor.
Hopefully we reach that 1 million mark in the next couple of cycles-
I'm currently working two engineering jobs and would love to focus on some passion projects.

I have 3 lasers atm but none are strong enough to engrave metal - mark em, sure - cut em, nah.

I also am not on your list - is it because mine were DIY? I mean I still made the address/key pairs for many of them but only at request of the buyers.

A good resource for different makers and address lists are my master maker thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2022902.0
Should have time this week to check your list and hopefully add something new :D

Correct.
Many of yours are custom, so I would not share those unless you/the owner told me different

You can see a list of all the makers I've added to the coin wiki here: https://wiki.coin.community/Category:Maker

It's not a complete list by far, but it will have some you're missing.

I noticed I am not on there :(  lol


Yeah, I haven't added much in the last few years, but it is a wiki so anybody is free to register an account and add to it *wink wink nudge nudge*

I have a spreadsheet of all makers, their data, and sales for the past three years. If I count using this data then the answer is approximately 561,670.

However, there are a lot of holes which include: 1. the creators actually do not know how many they made or they do not want to publish the data. 2. Creators that did not set a mintage but just mint on demand. 3. What is actually qualified as a physical bitcoin (for example, do you count Coined Bits, Anonymous Mint, Silver Shields - they may mint unlimited amounts of these rounds forever)?



Good points.

I'd love a copy of that spreadsheet.

Various reasons a coin becomes a relic: They may be original, limited/mintage, a certain year, have historical significance, if they are out of business or not, Material, all sorts of things, the creators behind them.

I'm going to attempt to specify the differences

An example: "Physical Bitcoin Coin(s)" Represents Coins that have holograms and can, do or have held Bitcoin. Excluding all other cryptos.
Not all coins are treated the same. Some physicals bitcoins are not collectables yet. Most kind of are.

I haven't yet accounted everything but I know we are defiantly at 200k + with the count I have with these specified Paramotors. Again Its an attempt on good Guesstimate that is changing. It will continue to change in time and with more research into coins created.

Other Makers of Coins like "Bullion Physical Bitcoin", "Physical Litecoin Coins" or " Physical Monero Coins" that don't represent the paramotors of "Physical Bitcoin Coins" so should be classified a little differently and into its own category. This little classification really allows us to guesstimate the rarity of Particular or certain coins.

I will put you on. More Makers are being put on daily. It's a work in progress. They wont all be "physicals Bitcoin makers but I'm going to attempt to categized the differences.

could also start with the encyclopedia - it has a lot of information on the ones that existed up to when it was printed.

Yes, MJ said he is going to send me one sometime this week.  :)
I plan on putting it to good use.
