Welcome to the first Bitcoin Penny® BitcoinTalk Community Contest of 2025!

As most of you know, The Bitcoin Penny Company’s 10th Anniversary is this year. Since early 2015, we’ve been supplying the BitcoinTalk community with thousands of our little copper collectible coins which have become an icon and flagship product for our company.

But for the last two years, our small company has faced immense struggle through severe financial hardships, numerous production challenges, and customer orders that ship shamefully late.

However, it is with the most sincerest pleasure that I may announce, as of this week, The Bitcoin Penny Company only has three (3) outstanding orders remaining to be minted and shipped, and those are our pre-sold Special Limited Edition Bitcoin Penny® 10th Anniversary 1 Kilo Silver MEGA Coins! And as those Silver MEGA Coins are finally beginning production, we plan to simultaneously release a limited number of matching one troy ounce (1ozt) and ten troy ounce (10ozt) 10th Anniversary Silver Coins!

As for now, we’ll spend the next week or two playing with (ahem…rigorously and scientifically testing) our brand new, custom, one-of-a-kind, made-to-spec, 200-ton, professional coining press that we had commissioned from an engineering / machining company almost two years ago! (As we’ve discovered, R&Ding an idea of this magnitude takes an unusually long time.)

And while we’re rigorously and scientifically testing (and definitely not playing with) our brand new, in-house, professional quality minting capabilities (dubbed One Cent Mint™), we’ve decided to host a fun little BitcoinTalk community contest.


RULES
The rules are simple.

Post a quote from any movie in the genres listed below, but change part of the quote to read “Bitcoin Penny.”

Contestants may submit as many quotes as they wish and in any genre categories they wish.

No more than one submission per posting. (Have two great quote ideas? Simply submit them separately in two distinct posts.)

The contest runs thru April 13, 2025 @ 11:59PM EDT (UTC -04:00).

On the following morning (April 14, 2025), we will review all entries and choose one winner from each genre category.


PRIZES
The winner in each genre category will receive a free 2023/2024 Bitcoin Penny® Copper Collection Short Roll! (Visit the Bitcoin Penny® (https://bitcoinpenny.com/) website for more photos and a full description. While you're there, feel free to purchase plenty of these awesome coins! Available while supplies last.)

Hmm… apparently I should read the entire rules list

I am glad to see that you are finally making it out of the hole you were in. As for the 1 Kilo 10th anniversary coins - I recall winning one of those in an auction but then you cancelled them (due to the issues you mentioned above) and I took a refund. I wish you had been able to complete those then as I am sure the cost now is not the same as it would be then, at least not in Bitcoin. IIRC the auction win was around mid 2023.

I hope you continue the movement forward.

as for my quote:

"You can't be definite about these things. Because as soon as a [Bitcoin Penny] comes your way, or a group of people you really enjoy working with, things tend to change." - (Jim Carey) Sonic the Hedgehog

There was big number of great contributions, so it is reasonable it will take some time to choose the best one.

But I'm sure I'm not only one curious to know who is winner of the contest :) @BitcoinPenny

Hello, everyone. I apologize for the prolonged anticipation. I had to travel out of town unexpectedly. Fourteen hours on the road, but I'm back now. :) I need a good night's rest, but I'll be choosing winners in the morning. And it looks like this may be a difficult decision. Good luck, everyone! :)

Regards,
Chris@TBPCO

THE SECRET TREASURE
As with all things Bitcoin Penny®, a deeper meaning often lays hidden below the surface, waiting for a clever someone to discover its secret. In this particular case, we reserved a special GRAND PRIZE for the first contestant who was able to quote from ALL categories within a single entry. (Earth Girls Are Easy, a musical sci-fi film from 1988, starring Jim Carrey.) Unfortunately, we received no such submission. Perhaps our next community contest will have better luck.

Congratulations to all winners and runners-up! And a big THANK YOU to everyone for playing in our first community contest of 2025! (Stay tuned for our next community contest featuring song quotes.)

Congratulations to the winners!

It was great fun participating in this contest and I'd like to see more of contests like this one on future.

Whoa, awesome! Big thanks to Chris & Bitcoin Penny for the contest, can't believe I won 2 categories! 8)

Most of my favorite movies come from the 80s so this was definitely a fun one for me. I had more thoughts in my head to get through and really wanted to get some Jim Carrey quotes in there, but needed to go away on a spring break trip with the family so I never got to them.

Earth Girls are Easy! 🤦 Tbh, I think I only watched that one once or twice in the past, so this was not at the top of my head when thinking of Jim Carrey, and I don't even remember it as a musical. Anyway, it was a fun contest, looking forward to more like this in the future, and hoping to see more stuff in general from Bitcoin Penny!

I'm behind on this, my prizes were delivered quickly over 3 weeks ago and I've been meaning to post some pictures of them, so here they are. Thanks again for the contest!
