Leading contemporary artist Damien Hirst’s NFT drop dubbed “The Currency” has been oversubscribed by more than six times.

The Currency drop consists of 10,000 unique colorful dot pattern artworks with a corresponding NFT for each piece. Applications for the NFT drop closed on July 22, and Heni Group, who hosted the sale, revealed that 32,472 people applied for a total of 67,023 NFTs. That means that many applications will either be scaled back or unsuccessful given there are only 10,000 NFTs available.

Many collectors will now have to seek out the NFTs on secondary markets.

Applications have closed for @hirst_official's The Currency. Thanks to all who applied. 32,472 people applied for a total of 67,023 NFTs. Due to the large number of applicants, allocations will take some time & applicants may not be notified until 28 July. Stay tuned for Phase 2! pic.twitter.com/BGDHTnPO2G

The NFTs were priced at $2,000 each and the drop includes an interesting feature, as the artist is giving collectors one year to decide if they would like to burn the NFT in exchange for the original artwork, or keep the NFT and destroy the original artwork.

The world-renowned artist first entered the crypto space back in February this year after he started accepting payments in Bitcoin and Ethereum for artworks from a collection of cherry blossom-themed paintings.

In his new NFT venture, the artist is exploring the concept of value behind money and art, in which he asserts their value is determined by social phenomena such as faith and trust.

To loosely depict money in the artworks, there is a holographic image of Hirst in each piece, and a signature on the back, along with small individual messages to represent a serial number.

“I’ve never really understood money, it's like you look at money, in its basic form [...] all these things, art, money commerce, they're all ethereal,” Hirst said in a video discussing the drop.
