# Billion Dollar Token

> The Billion Dollar Token (BDT) is a brass-engraved everyday carry token commemorating the 250th anniversary of the United States of America (1776–2026). It is a non-monetary commemorative piece — not legal tender.

## About

The Billion Dollar Token is a solid brass collectible approximately 1.5 inches (38mm) in diameter. Each token is die-struck and hand-finished, bearing a unique serial number. The token features intricate engravings on both faces that mirror the tradition of American coinage while serving exclusively as a commemorative keepsake.

## Token Design

The obverse face is titled "A More Perfect Union" and features the Great Seal eagle, a detailed rendering of the Constitution with "We the People," a quill and inkwell, the dates 1776–2026, the motto "In God We Trust," and the denomination $1,000,000,000. The text of the Bill of Rights is micro-engraved along the rim.

The reverse face is titled "From Sea to Shining Sea" and depicts the golden spike ceremony at Promontory Summit in 1869 — the completion of the Transcontinental Railroad. It is framed by thirteen stars and historical inscriptions, with each token's unique serial number engraved into the brass.
