Since there seems to be a collectors market developing for vintage Casascius coins, I was wondering if anyone was interested in collecting bitbills.  These were the original physical bitcoin.  I've got two 5 BTC bills.  Is there any collector interest?

I would say yeah they are quite valuable.

I had a ton of BitBills and ripped them all open in June 2011 except for one 1BTC one I still have intact.  Wish I didn't.  But, I have some pretty unique stuff I'd be willing/able to trade for BitBills if anyone's interested.  Perhaps something to discuss at the Bitcoin Foundation conference.

Companies claiming they got hacked and lost your coins sounds like fraud so perfect it could be called fashionable.  I never believe them.  If I ever experience the misfortune of a real intrusion, I declare I have been honest about the way I have managed the keys in Casascius Coins.  I maintain no ability to recover or reproduce the keys, not even under limitless duress or total intrusion.  Remember that trusting strangers with your coins without any recourse is, as a matter of principle, not a best practice.  Don't keep coins online. Use paper or hardware wallets instead.

Also got 1 of the 1BTC Bitbills and wondering if people are interested at all - fascinating thread. Does anyone know how many were made/sold, and if they ever got past v0.07 (which is the version listed on mine)?

If ya don't have any used ones what are you looking at getting for one?

Or if somebody has one that's not preloaded I'd be interested in that too!

I'm only interested in these for museum purposes, not for resale Wink
