Im too lazy to dig in to this massive thread, so apologies Im sure this has been covered here already , but was curious how the gold gram/crypto stamp special deal were acquired.. random, redemption, or were they simply for sale outright at some point? Gracias.

500 pieces were sold through the Austria post on-line shop for 500 each (sold out within the first 30 minutes).

The rest 499 are being given away through various competitions. Currently, running competitions are (might be more, but I am only aware of those):

1) scan QR codes in different physical post office locations in Austria, and fill a competition form. 2) Weekly draws, based on the online digital token "collections" (you have to check every week your digital stamp collection, and redeem the "golden unicorn" within that week period, in case you won one).

Thx bud! Just read a little about these. They state these have a nominal value of 50,000 euro cents..what does that mean exactly? Could take that a number of ways.

50,000 euro cents = 500 Euro.

This is a valid stamp, accepted by the Austrian post office.

Theoretically, you can use this stamp to pay for up to 500 shipping fees (ie. send a parcel through the Austrian post office) Cheesy

Plus 70 bucks for the gold, so theyre losing money on this? Thats why I was questioning it

I guess, they rely on the fact that this is a collectible item, and almost no one is going to (actually) use it to dispatch items with. So, they are selling 500 Euro stamps, that very few will "redeem" the service value of it.
