Casascius coins are physical coins with embedded Bitcoin value, created by Mike Caldwell. These coins, made of brass, gold, or silver, feature a hologram and a tamper-resistant sticker to seal the private key hidden underneath, which can be peeled off to redeem the Bitcoin. They were produced in various denominations and designs, becoming a collector's item due to their uniqueness and limited mintage. However, the production of Casascius coins has been discontinued, making them even more valuable to those interested in Bitcoin's early history and physical manifestations.
