Trading card company Cardsmiths has unveiled its latest collection with a patriotic twist: Currency Series 6, developed in collaboration with America250, the congressionally-established organization overseeing the country’s 250th anniversary celebrations.
The collection, timed to coincide with the semiquincentennial of the Declaration of Independence, features 90 base cards and more than 120 unique designs in total.
The cards spotlight historical figures, currencies, markets, and cultural forces that shaped the American and global economies, rendered by artists including street art icon Mr. Brainwash and illustrators Jon McTavish and Thomas Zahler.
In a nod to the milestone year, each limited-edition specialty package is individually serial-numbered up to 1,776—the year the founders put quill to parchment in Philadelphia.
While the American theme is new, Currency Series 6 continues the trend of previous Cardsmiths collections by randomly inserting crypto redemption cards, which are redeemable for Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, or Dogecoin. Top prizes include a full Bitcoin and a full Ethereum token, currently valued at approximately $66,600 and $1,900 respectively.
Decrypt has previously covered instances of collectors pulling a full Bitcoin redemption card from packs priced as low as $13 purchased at retailers like GameStop. With the latest drop, Cardsmiths is offering two-pack collector boxes starting at $37.
“With this milestone release, we’re making history with history,” said Cardsmiths co-founder and CEO Steve Loney, in a statement.
