Trading card manufacturer Cardsmiths has launched its Currency Series 5, featuring five cards redeemable for a full Bitcoin each, valued at over $100,000. The set includes redemptions for Ethereum, Litecoin, and Dogecoin, available through the company's website and select retailers. Demand for this release has surpassed previous sets, according to CEO Steven Loney.
Cardsmiths unveiled Currency Series 5 on Wednesday, marking its largest selection of crypto redemption cards to date. The set includes five cards that allow recipients to redeem one full Bitcoin apiece, alongside options for Ethereum, Litecoin, and Dogecoin. These redemption cards appear in approximately one out of every 96 packs, based on product page data.
Packs are priced as low as $37 for a box containing two packs of five cards each, sold via the Cardsmiths website and select retailers. Supplies remained available on the website as of Friday afternoon, with payment options including Bitcoin, Ethereum, Dogecoin, and USDC through a partnership with BitPay.
"Demand for Currency Series 5 has exceeded all prior releases. Interest has been both broader and deeper than with any previous Currency set," Cardsmiths CEO Steven Loney told Decrypt.
The series also introduces a non-redeemable 1/1 Bitcoin trading card as a premier collectible. Collaborations with artists such as Gunship Revolution Studios, Jon McTavish, and street artist Mr. Brainwash enhance the cards' visual appeal.
"From the beginning, our goal was to create truly unique 'One of One' cards for each Currency release. Bitcoin remains the most recognized and valuable cryptocurrency, so it was a natural choice for this concept," Loney said.
Previous releases have yielded significant wins for collectors. In February, a user pulled a full Bitcoin card from a $50 Holiday Currency pack, potentially netting over six figures. In August, a GameStop customer found a Bitcoin redemption worth around $115,000 in a $13 pack. Multiple users have reported similar successes, turning low-cost packs into substantial crypto gains amid Bitcoin's price rise.
Looking ahead, Loney noted that Currency is the company's tentpole intellectual property, with development underway for Series 6 and other launches.
