Reserved!

Also, FYI these have been redesigned to be similar in size to standard USA notes. They will be easier to store and find protective sleeves/slabs for.

These are listed on many platforms and I will do my best to keep it updated regularly.

Looking interesting these notes.
Do you have any test-runs - I would like to see photos or even better videos of how the paper looks IRL.
Will the total mintage be limited to 100 per note (solver/copper)? And how do you embed the coin into the paper exactly?

They will look and feel the same as the gold notes....besides the color difference. Similar to US paper currency and printed on cotton security threaded paper as I didn't care for the plastic style. Plastic doesn't work as well for treasure maps, which these are or at least part of a map.  All will be hand embossed stamped with the cross sword seal, hand "Funded" stamped and hand signed. Those features may give it a different feel. The only thing that changed compared to the gold certificates, is that the size will be the same as US currency or very similar. This was done, so that people can have the 10x books slabbed if they want by PCGS. Like the picture below.



A circular hole is punched inside the crown of thorns, so that a coin can lay inside it. The coin is sealed on both sides of the note using a transparent hologram. This allows the face and hologram qr code to be seen on both sides. The coin itself is wrapped in a thin plastic so that the hologram adhesive residue doesn't transfer to the coin. This is to keep the coin in the best condition, if someone wanted to remove it from the note.



No, they won't be limited to 100. I'm only allowing 100 to be sold at pre-sale prices. Prices will be higher after production is completed. There is 320 3 gram copper OS to be FF,  271 1g silver 2,500 sat rounds left and 200 +/- 1 gram silver blanks available. I may hand stamped 1g silver blanks as some people enjoy the hand stamp style. It's raw and hands on. There is 75 3 gram 999 silver blanks I'm using as test strikes for the copper dies. They will be sold for $75 ea without a note. I should probably add these to the sale listing above in the original sales post.   If more notes than that are made, they will just be BF / Specimen stamped notes for collectors that want examples. Like most of my offerings, I make them to order. So mintage numbers for the year, are often smaller than the total mintage. They will be sold up to 2029 or until I have no more available. It doesn't matter to me what year they sell in, it does determine the years mintage, though. See picture below for the 202_ date location! You will see a handwritten 6, 7, 8 or 9 in this location, depending on the year of sale.

Appreciate the detailed explanation on the notes.
Okay, I'm excited, this looks really cool. Will take 2x single silver notes and 2x single copper notes please.
I know you have your reasons, just personally I would prefer slightly bigger funding (maybe something from 10 to 50k sats) and also a few grams more of the precious metals.
For me this would give the notes more value as a gift or for mid-term hodl.

Okay, I'll save matching numbers for you. I'll PM you!

I'd rather have 500x $2 bills  in my pocket instead of just 1x $1000 bill. I'd have more trade opportunities available to me.
But I'm always up to add more denominations in the arsenal.

I agree, not much use of really high denominations if you really want to barter- But 500x $2 is also too small for my taste, that's why I said something slightly bigger, like $15 to $50 denominations would be really cool to have.
Anyway, looking forward to see these notes in person and curious to see what you'll come up with in the future.

Well, different denominations will come as I'm still building. I can put 25,000 Satoshi pieces in the next certificates.  The higher denominations just become liabilities later on and premiums start to shrink the higher bitcoin becomes. We see this daily when people try to sell their Casascius rounds. The pieces produced from 2015-2019 will be facing similar issues as 0.1-0.01 will become difficult to sell quickly or fear of loosing them in the mail. Low denominations will be the most useful into the future even up to the point when bitcoin mining ends. I'm not sure how many millions it will be at that time, but I'm sure it will be many.  

These Sparrow Hawk notes will behave similar to how satori's did when they were released, I suspect.   0.001 btc back then was like $0.50 -$1.00 , but  if you look to the future they will still be reasonable priced pieces.... $1000 Satori will be considered cheap or face value in the not to distant future. Yet, thats still affordable to most and not worth sweating over in the mail.  The Sparrow hawk certs may retail at $50 today but after a few bitcoin cycles, that probably won't be the case. I'm also looking for stable predictable trades, with little to zero fear of mailing. I don't want one piece that sells for $1500 at auction and then another piece that sells for $300 because thats ridiculous.  If you put out 1000x pieces at once, what will they all consistently trade for? I already know the answer to most of these questions.  These Sparrow Hawk notes will be like two physical bitcoins in one and trade for similar values even if separated.  Perfect little Fully Funded silver/copper gifts for today.

I'm excited for these pieces too. I think you will love them. I'll put all updates for this project in this thread and reach out when its time to mail them to you. Thanks!
