Exciting news from BTCC Mint!
In celebration of BTCC's 5-year anniversary, we are proud to announce the Five Bitcoin from BTCC Mint, the latest product to join the 2016 V Series family of Titanium physical bitcoins.
Here's a link to the press release so you can read more of the "official" information:
http://www.prweb.com/releases/2016/06/prweb13472694.htmLet me give you some inside information, in terms of what I emphasized when working with the team in designing the coin and this product:
1) Keep the clean and distinguished design from the One Bitcoin. We are aiming for a classic coin design.
2) Make it big! It has to feel like it's really worth a lot, with 5 BTC value in it! So it's quite large, at 50 mm, and very thick, at 5 mm. Once you get to hold this coin in your hand, it's really "the right size", and makes the One Bitcoin feel small in comparison. (As you know, the One Bitcoin is itself already quite large, at 43 mm, which is larger than most other physical bitcoins.)
3) On the back side, we included an extra ring of words, showing the number "FIVE" in 21 different languages. We picked a nice set of languages, and our intention is to make this truly international, representing the global nature of Bitcoin. Hope you find your language included there!
4) Nice packaging: Each of these coins comes in a nice wooden etuis (aka box). Great for safekeeping, and also great for displaying it! They all come with a built in stand; see photos. (We're offering 2 more packages in addition to the standard 1 coin box: the 2-coin set and the 5-coin set.)
- The 2-coin set has a nice display coin well, which allows you to show both the Front and Back sides of the coin at the same time, thus showcasing the nice design of the back side as well.
- The 5-coin set is unique in that all 5 coins are mined from the same block. And of course, all 5 are held in a larger coin well, holding and displaying all 5 at the same time. This is massive! We will only make 21 of these sets in total. This is really for the serious bitcoin collector, and the ones who can afford it! (the sad thing is that after the block reward halving in July, we can no longer make the 5-coin sets like this, as one block will only contain 12.5 BTC. So this is truly limited!!)
5) Notice all the instances of 5's? 5-year anniversary of BTCC, 5 Bitcoins, 50 mm diameter, 5 mm thickness, the word "FIVE" in 21 languages, and 500 max production quantity! All intentional.
Here is the list of 21 variations for the word "Five" in all major languages:
English — FIVE
Indonesian/Malay/Filipino — LIMA
Dutch — VIJF
Greek — ΠENTE
Arabic — خمسة
Japanese — 五
Hebrew — חמש
