[AUCTION] The NEW 2018 Bitcoin Penny™ has YOUR NAME on it!

[BitcoinPenny]

(The 2017 IRIE coin.)


Welcome to the THIRD ANNUAL BitcoinTalk Community Auction to see YOUR NAME minted on the NEW 2018 Bitcoin Penny™ Commemorative Coins!

It's almost the new year, and 2018 will be our MOST EXCITING year to date! So many exciting new projects and collaborations, with thousands more coins circulating the planet! And the first thing on our list for 2018 is to auction off the space for YOUR NAME or initials to be minted on THOUSANDS of our NEW 2018 Bitcoin Penny™ Commemorative Coins!

>>>

As most of you know, our inaugural 2015 Bitcoin Penny™ Commemorative Coin had the mint mark "CJB" minted below the date on the front of the coin. Every year since, we've auctioned that mint mark space to the highest bidder, and every year we have a TON of fun doing it!

Previous winners include:

DaveF, who chose the name "DAVE" to be minted on our 2016 Bitcoin Penny™ Commemorative Coins! (That's why our 2016 Bitcoin Penny™ Commemorative Coin is commonly called the DAVE coin!)

Greenplastic, who chose the phrase "IRIE" to be minted on our 2017 Bitcoin Penny™ Commemorative Coins! (That's why our 2017 Bitcoin Penny™ Commemorative Coin is commonly called the IRIE coin!)

And this year, the winner could be YOU!

>>>

We're minting ONE LUCKY WINNER'S choice of NAME or INITIALS on the fronts of all our standard 2018 Bitcoin Penny™ Commemorative Coins! (That's ~5,000 thousand coins!) That's right! The highest bidder in this auction will win the privilege of seeing his / her short name or initials of choice minted on the fronts of approximately FIVE THOUSAND of our new 2018 Bitcoin Penny™ Commemorative Coins!

What initials will YOU have minted on the NEW 2018 Bitcoin Penny™ Commemorative Coin?




BONUS: The winning bidder will receive one (1) FREE 2018 Bitcoin Penny™ Classic Roll filled with their very own [YOU] coins as a special THANK YOU!

*NOTE: This auction is for our standard mint coin only. We guarantee a quantity of ~5,000 minted and released for the 2018 inventory.

**NOTE: We reserve the right to refuse any choice of initials which we deem to be morally offensive (ex. ASS) or unfavorable to bitcoin or the bitcoin community. Additionally, each new year must be represented by a new name or set of initials. Since "CJB", "DAVE", and "IRIE" have been used for years 2015, 2016, and 2017 (respectively), those choices are invalid for the 2018 Bitcoin Penny™ Commemorative Coin.

Additionally, to insure that your winning NAME choice is legible on the final product, we suggest 2-3 characters with a maximum of four (4) characters. In rare cases, we MAY be able to fit up to five (5) characters, but only if that NAME choice contains more than one skinny character, such as "MIIIS" or similar.

***NOTE: We reserve the right to reject any bid / bidder in any matter of good conscience.

Can you add a . As in FU.OG??

We should avoid the period. Some people might misread the separated "FU" as slang for "F*ck you," and that would not support the positive brand image that we're trying to cultivate here at The Bitcoin Penny Co. I'm sure you'd agree.

Id like the last three characters to be lowercase, it makes all the difference!

[BitcoinPenny]

Id like the last three characters to be lowercase, it makes all the difference!

The last three characters of "OGily" are shown in the lowercase of our classic BP font. (The lowercase is simply a smaller version of the uppercase.) To make the last three characters appear in the common Arial-like lowercase design, we would need to change fonts to a common Arial-like design, and we can't do that. However, we are happy to make the "ily" as small as possible to stand apart more from the "OG," if you like.

Holy shit this auction already at $1400 and could break $2500 by the time we finish!

You want your text on those pennies next year, you have to pay dearly!

Edit- KY, what does that stand for if you don't mind me asking?

I told my wife that our famous DAVE is bidding on a matching JULIE coin as his wife's christmas gift. Mrs. Penny smiled and said, "Awwww," in a blushing, romantic, schoolgirl kind of way!

[Fattcatt]

All you guys....if you know where she gets her hair done, call there and see if they have gift certificates this time of the year....women always LOVE that.

Weird and personal is the best. My gf and I are the WEIRDEST couple but it makes life fun 

And I'm cheesy for sure so if I had the money I might be tempted to entertain the idea of getting it for her.

The WINNER is DaveF @ .165 BTC!

Congratulations, DaveF! I'm sure your wife will LOVE her Christmas gift! Matching DAVE and JULIE coins!

Congrats, as I've been getting the Error 502 all day.

Yes, after receiving the email at 2:51PM that DaveF had replied (and likely placed a bid), I couldn't log in at all...until around 3:30PM. Once I was able to log in at 3:30PM, I almost declared an extension of 30 minutes, but then I decided to just wait another 30 minutes to see if there was another bid. No additional bids by 4PM, so the official winner is DaveF. (You'll win it next year, GP.)

Thank you to EVERYONE who played in our 3rd annual "The NEW Bitcoin Penny™ has YOUR NAME on it!" auction! We appreciate every single on of you for your support, and we look forward to bring you the NEW 2018 Bitcoin Penny™ JULIE coin very soon!

Didn't see this post earlier. What a miss :p

But I think it's Worth waiting for an another year.
See you next year!
