What is a Physical Bitcoin?
A special type of Bitcoin wallet that works as a bearer
instrument that can be used to store bitcoins more safely or for
trade offline.
A physical bitcoin holds the coin's public address and a hidden
private key. The intention with a physical bitcoin is that the value of
the coin has not and cannot be spent as long as the private key
remains hidden, which is likely achieved through the use of a
tamper-evident seal.
The earliest physical bitcoin, the Bitbill, was shaped liked a
credit card but that was then followed by the Casascius physical
bitcoin which was affixed to a round medal.
