💰 In 2011–2013, physical bitcoins called Casascius were issued — metallic disks with a hologram under which a private key with initially embedded BTC is placed.
To receive coins on a regular address, the owner must peel off the hologram and import the key. After this, the collectible value disappears — only the metallic token remains.
Some owners never activated their coins, viewing them as collectible items.
The 17 largest holders of such Casascius coins potentially have 36,467 BTC (≈$3.65 billion).
