Cardsmiths released its latest Currency trading card set, with five cards letting the recipient redeem a full Bitcoin.
Cards are sold via select retailers and the Cardsmiths website for as little as $37 for a 2-pack.
Multiple users have pulled 1 BTC redemption cards, netting greater than $100,000 in crypto from packs as cheap as $13.
After multiple collectors pulled Bitcoin redemption cards from previous sets, trading card manufacturer Cardsmiths released its latest Currency Series set with five cards that are redeemable for 1 full Bitcoin apiece—more than $100,000 each as of this writing.
Currency Series 5 went up for sale on the firm’s website and via select retailers on Wednesday, offering its largest-ever selection of crypto redemption cards, which allow collectors to redeem real amounts of Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, and Dogecoin.
“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 latest series of cards can be purchased for as little as $37 for a box containing two packs, with each pack containing 5 trading cards. Cards redeemable for crypto can be found in approximately 1 of every 96 packs according to data shared on the product page.
Beyond enhancing its redeemables, Cardsmiths also added a non-redeemable 1/1 Bitcoin trading card to Currency Series 5 to stand as a premier collectible from the set.
The manufacturer also worked with artists like Gunship Revolution Studios, Jon McTavish, and noted street artist Mr. Brainwash to add a distinctive visual presence to the cards.
“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.
Collectors have been cashing in on Cardsmiths’ currency redemption offerings over the last year, turning packs worth around $30 into over $100,000 thanks to Bitcoin’s rise.
Supplies of Currency Series 5 are still available on the manufacturer’s website as of Friday afternoon. The firm has partnered with BitPay to allow users to pay with coins like Bitcoin, Ethereum, Dogecoin and Circle’s dollar-backed stablecoin, USDC.
As for Cardsmiths’ future crypto ambitions, collectors can expect more Currency sets ahead.
“Currency is our tentpole IP, and development on future sets, including Currency Series 6, is already underway,” said Loney. “We have a good handful of exciting launches on the horizon.”
