This limited edition of one thousand Charter Member coin-card sets serves as a groundbreaking example of conjoined numismatics, featuring a matching serial number on both the coin and the card. These unique sets have now become part of the permanent collections of four prestigious museums, including the British Museum, the National Hellenic Museum, the American Numismatic Society, and the American Numismatic Association. The Net Zero Coin creatively promotes financial literacy by teaching about the 'zero sum game' of the stock market, using gamified education through the lens of game and sports stocks. Additionally, it represents the mathematical constant and transcendental number Pi, incorporating a canceling -3.14 to render the face value precisely zero.
Size: 39 mm (1.534 inch diameter)
Composition: Copper alloy core, silver bullion mirror proof plating, and 24k gold highlights with a reeded edge.

The image depicted is of the world's oldest computer, the ancient Antikythera Mechanism (c. 160 BCE). This remarkable device served as a highly complex 40-geared astronomical calculator that tracked the motions of the era's five known planets, as well as solar and lunar eclipses and the periodic dates of the ancient Olympic games. By placing a computer on our coin, we symbolize the foundational driver of today's economies and its impact on currency spot pricing. A nation's GNP is ultimately reflected in the value of its currency, highlighting the importance of financial literacy in understanding economic factors. This approach also ties into gamified education, allowing individuals to learn about economics in an engaging way, including the interconnectedness of the sports business and global finance—all part of the educational components of Net Zero Coin.
