Every box is printed “$25 · Visually inspect to verify 50 rolls.” Good advice.

It's a lot of pennies.

1,295,008 of them, rolled, boxed, and stacked on steel racks. Each box is the standard $25 kind, 50 rolls of 50, which makes the reserve 518 boxes and 8 loose coins.

Most reserves live in a bank statement you are asked to trust. This one lives in a room. Ask for an appointment and you can go stand next to it.

Chain of custody

Custody happens off-chain. Issuance happens on Solana, where anyone can check it. The project publishes both so you can line them up.

  1. Deposit

    Pennies are delivered to the vault and counted in.

    Deposit pennies
  2. Report

    The project publishes the physical count with its date and limitations.

  3. Mint

    CENT is minted on Solana only after the matching pennies arrive. That is project policy, not a hard cap.

    Mint controls
  4. Compare

    Anyone can check the count against live supply, burns included.

Most reserves are a PDF. This one is a pile.

Stablecoin issuers publish quarterly attestations from accounting firms. The U.S. Mint reports 147.4 million troy ounces of gold at Fort Knox, and nobody gets to drop by and count it.

We wanted the opposite: backing so literal you can pick it up. Pennies in a vault, the count posted next to the token supply, and the door open by appointment.

Will that make a CENT worth a cent? We don't know. We thought it would be fun to find out.

Handle with care

CENT is a memecoin experiment. Read these labels before you buy any.

Not a stablecoin
Nobody stands ready to swap CENT for a penny, so the price can drift far from $0.01 either way.
No redemption right
Holding CENT gives you no legal claim on any specific penny or on the reserve.
Reported, not attested
The physical count comes from the project. On-chain records prove supply, not custody.
Supply can grow
Mint authority is active. New CENT can be issued when the project accepts matching penny deposits.
Shared keys, unlocked liquidity
Program upgrades, token metadata and project liquidity sit behind a 2-of-3 Squads multisig. Liquidity is not time-locked. Check the controls
Copper is not a floor
Pre-1982 pennies are 95% copper; newer ones are mostly zinc. Metal value does not set a minimum token price.

Buy a penny's worth. Or come count them.
