The Original Physical Reserve Token

A token issued against U.S. penny reserves

Each CENT token is issued against a physical penny held in auditable reserve. Unlike Fort Knox, you can actually visit our vault and count the reserves yourself. Following the cessation of U.S. penny production, these constitute a finite stock of legal tender you can independently verify.

🚨 Price Alert: CENT is currently trading above $0.01. A penny is worth more than a penny.

Most stablecoin issuers publish quarterly attestations from accounting firms. We maintain a vault you can visit. You can literally touch the reserves. The distinction matters.

Fort Knox holds 147 million ounces of gold that hasn’t been fully audited by independent parties since 1953. We hold 1 million pennies you can count on a 24/7 livestream and inspect by appointment. Some people are calling it the most verifiable reserve in America.

Our holdings are not distributed across banking partners, money market funds, or commercial paper. They exist as physical U.S. currency in a single secure location—observable via 24/7 video feed, and verifiable in person by appointment.

Following the U.S. Mint’s decision to end penny production, no additional supply will enter circulation. Unlike Bitcoin, which continues mining until 2140, penny issuance has permanently ceased. The total number of pennies is fixed, and the only way create more CENT is to deposit pennies into the vault.

Physical Custody

All pennies are held in a climate-controlled facility with 24/7 video surveillance. No fractional reserves, no rehypothecation, no synthetic exposure.

On-Chain Issuance

CENT tokens are minted on Solana with each issuance corresponding to verified physical deposits. All transactions are recorded immutably on the public blockchain.

Continuous Transparency

Rather than periodic attestations, we provide real-time visibility into reserve holdings. Count the pennies yourself via our live monitoring feed.

What’s the point?

Look, we know what you’re thinking. Well, technically this is NOT a stablecoin...

There’s been speculation for decades about whether Fort Knox actually holds the gold it claims. Congressional committees have demanded audits. Conspiracy theories abound. Why? Because nobody can actually see inside.

Most "backed" assets aren’t actually backed by anything you can see or touch. They’re backed by trust in institutions, attestations from auditors, and PDFs that no one reads.

We wanted to try something different. What happens when you make the backing so literal, so visible, so absurdly tangible that anyone can verify it with their own eyes? What happens when you can visit the vault and pick up a coin?

We don’t know exactly. But we thought it would be fun to find out.

Absolute Scarcity

Bitcoin’s supply cap is enforced by code. Penny supply is constrained by physical reality—the U.S. Mint has ceased production entirely. No fork, no governance vote, no protocol change can create more pennies.

Intrinsic Material Value

Pre-1982 pennies contain 95% copper. At current commodity prices, the metal content exceeds face value, providing a floor on reserve valuation independent of monetary policy.

Sovereign Backing

Each penny carries the full faith and credit of the United States government. Unlike corporate-issued stablecoins, the underlying asset is official legal tender.

Natural Security

At $0.01 per 2.5 grams for post-1982 pennies, and $0.01 per 3.11 grams for pre-1982 pennies, pennies present one of the lowest value-to-weight ratios of any store of value. Physical extraction offers minimal economic incentive. We maintain security protocols nonetheless.

Curious?

Buy some pennies. Or just watch them on the livestream. We’re not here to tell you what to do.
