We wrote a
guide on everything you might find when opening a Cardsmiths Currency Series 4 pack — from Base to Gemstone Refractor™ variants and Bitcoin 1/1 cards, so you know exactly what you’re looking at.
Basic Set Overview
Cards feature original art with themes drawn from currency, history, and science. Each Series 4 pack contains cards drawn from a total of 80 unique card designs, including:
70 Regular base cards
10 Short Print (SP) base cards
On top of these, there are some ultra-rare cards, which we will discuss later on.
Variants
For each of the 80 card designs, there are 5 types of unnumbered variants. Base variant cards are guaranteed in every pack, and, all things considered, the rest variants here are quite easy to pull. The following are the published pull odds: Collector Parallel Rainbow Holofoil 1:3, Collector Parallel Matrix Holofoil 1:3, Collector Parallel Iced Foil 1:3
1. Base
Feature unique designs without foiled surfaces
SP (Short Print) base cards are more limited
2. Rainbow Holofoil
A holographic rainbow sheet overlays the artwork
3. Iced Foil
Features a foil logo on the back instead of the artwork.
4. Crystal Sparkle Foil
Salt-like holographic sparkles with no border, creating a floating art effect
5. Matrix Holofoil
Square patterns in the foil give it a digital look
Gemstone Refractor™
On top of the unnumbered variants, each card also has 13 Gemstone Refractor™ (aka gems) variants. These variants have unique patterns in the front, and a serial number etched in the back; when you pull one you will know it!

It is important to note that some gems are exclusive to the type of box you purchased:
Jade can exclusively be found from packs of Collector Boxes (2 packs = 10 cards)
Opal can exclusively be found from packs of Mega Boxes (8 packs = 40 cards)
In the collector’s lingo, the card with lowest serial number (1/X) is called Alpha and the one with the highest (X/X) Omega. These are unofficial terms, but usually will make those cards more valuable.
Special subsets:
Meta Rares, Cold Foils, Exclusives, Double-Sides Holofoils and other exotic cards
