Hollow Spy Coins

Hollow Spy Coins

During the Cold War, Spies from both the East
and West used Hollow Coins to ferry secret
messages, suicide poisons, and microfilms
undetected. On May 1st, 1960 U2 Pilot Gary
Francis Powers was shot down over the
Soviet Union and taken captive. In his
possession was a hollow silver dollar
containing a poisoned needle that was to be
used to take his own life in such a
circumstance. For one reason or another, he
did not use it and was held for 21 months by
the Soviets. He was then exchanged for
Soviet spy KGB Colonel Vilyam Fisher (aka
Rudolf Abel) at the Glienicke Bridge, in Berlin,
Germany. Colonel Fisher was also no
stranger to hollow coins...his original capture
by the United States FBI was directly related
to a hollow nickel that was used to transport
microfilm.

On the following pages are functional hollow
spy coins. They are all precision machined
from actual coins, and are absolutely
indistinguishable from a solid coin to the
naked eye. They can be safely handled
without danger of separation, and could
easily circulate without detection. These
products are proudly made in The USA.

Although the technology of the hollow coin is
not new, the data media is. Three of our
coins are specially machined to secure the
MicroSD Memory Card, which has capacities
of several gigabytes.
