Charter Issue No. 001 · Mints 29 August
Each one drawn by a guilloché press — the interlocking rosette engraving real currency has used for two centuries. Every note in the issue is unique, and the engraving grows denser as the denomination rises.
The press floor
Specimens · serials and issue numbers withheld until mint closes
Six denominations · exact supply
The draw is a bijective permutation, so these counts are guaranteed rather than approximate. Lobe count and engraved layers both climb with the denomination — a Charter Star carries more than twice the linework of a Circulating Note.
Details
All 3,333 notes come from a single seed. Rerun the generator with it and you reproduce every note byte for byte — same curves, same serials, same scarcity. The seed's hash is published before mint; the seed itself after mint closes.
Real notes print from two plates: one ink lays the structure, a second traces over it slightly offset. Every note here does the same — green underneath, then bronze, copper or teal on the alternate passes.
Medallion, twin, offset, orbit and eclipse, each over one of five engraved field patterns. Composition, field, lobe count and rosette name are all recorded as traits.
Mint
Same $1 in every phase, one note per wallet throughout. Later phases never pay more than earlier ones.
Reserved for the team and contributors. The exact number is stated publicly before mint.
A guaranteed spot, no race. Announced on X — there is no application form anywhere.
On the list but not guaranteed. First come, first served, while supply lasts.
Whatever remains, open to anyone.
Notes reveal immediately once minting closes. The vault opens after that, and locking begins from there.
