Mint DIMES

10,000 dimes were selected to be forever inscribed on Bitcoin.

Valued at 10 times more than cents, the dime was once a symbol of significant purchasing power, but has gradually lost its value due to inflation. However, it remains a cherished collector's item and a representation of American currency. Composed of 89% silver and 11% copper since 1796, the dime's valuable composition has remained consistent for over a century. Inspired by the discrepancy between the face value and the metal content of the coin, DIMES project began by meticulously sorting through vast quantities of dime coins. From this endeavor, 10,000 dimes were selected to be archivally documented. The final state of these 10,000 dimes will now be inscribed on 10,000 satoshis. As the purchasing power of the dime continues to diminish and its future production remains uncertain, this digitally scarce set of 10,000 will be forever etched on the Bitcoin blockchain, preserving its legacy for generations to come.
