I previously auctioned off a BitBill, which was successful in every way.

This is rather old info, but here's what I could find about the numbers.

how rare BitBills are:
20BTC: 181 (132 intact)
10BTC: 143 (97 intact)
5BTC: 144 (107 intact)
1BTC: 589 (492 intact)

As you can see in the photos, there are imperfections. In fact, no 2 are alike, each being handmade. Hologram placement, the laminating process, private key slip placement, each one is definitely unique in several ways. I am the original owner, and have not handled or circulated the BitBill since I opened the package on or about June 20, 2011.

It is funded, and intact. I have never opened a BitBill, but I understand that they can be redeemed. https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Bitbills

The Bitbill launch was announced on May 9, 2011.
As of May 15, 2012, Bitbills are no longer in production.

Here is a link to the images of the card. I can provide more photos via imgur if requested, but I can't insert images directly into the post.

If you have questions, ask. Good luck bidding, and thanks for looking.

EDIT: Sorry, I don't know what I was thinking when I put March 15th, meant to be the 26th. Fixed.

Nice to see you back again GP . Also, I fixed the end date in the OP, that was a total miss.

1.40 btc

Wasn't there a newbie that said they had a full redeemed and intact bitbills recently? But went to the bank to get pictures and never came back..

I cant wait to see the ridiculous price this brings, I wonder how a 20 btc one would do in relation to the premium on a 25btc cas

I sold a Bitbill to greenplastic a couple months ago, everything went well.

A 20 BTC Bitbill would certainly be an interesting auction.

well done GP, fell asleep for this ending!

[Branduardi]

Wow, from 2.35 down to 1.6. Well done

[wheelz1200]

These ones are wierd to price.  Either way 1.6 i think is real good considering the amount of these that ever come up for sale.

[Lesbian Cow]

Damn, I fell asleep.  Congratulations again GP, great piece of history at what seems to be a great price.
