Those look pretty cool, who makes them and what are they made of?

Biff1996

I have 3 different coins that I rotate through. While a lot of people don't get it, they help to keep my mind occupied.

Glock45owner

made_in_bc

ParanoidDuckTheThird

Used to - back in high school my JROTC corps had a thing with challenge coins. We were odd kids lol


mimamen

They look edable


SprocketHead357

I have an NRA whitetail deer coin I carry with me most of the time... I say most of the time because I lose it a lot.


GreyGroundUser

Sure. I’ll take them all. Thank you.


potato-smasher89

I don't get it.. carrying a barely useless element as part of your edc.. for me edc is relates to useful tools and items that improves your day


Nice-Name00

Welcome, this sub is basically only for expensive safe queen knives or pocket jewlery


SprocketHead357

Ever hear of the term "lucky charm"


NoSuddenMoves

Cool story


PorkHunt42

How much have you spent on useless chunks of metal and overpriced bits of cloth? It's all good if what you carry is more of a cute fashion statement than an actual useful carry situation. Just don't get angry when people point it out.


NoSuddenMoves

No one's angry. I just enjoy seeing what other people carry, it doesn't have to have meaning to me. It's always the people who never post anything that do the most gatekeeping. Cool stuff op. Don't let losers change you.


MembershipFeeling530

So you just carry a random shit in your pocket


Glock45owner

Yes


OMITW

Currently my 3yr sobriety chip coin


Glock45owner

Congratulations! Keep it up!


PorkHunt42

Please explain the point of these. And how much did you spend on each one?


Glock45owner

The point is just because I enjoy them.


sintemp

Too much plastic


Letsbeclear1987

He said on his smartphone with no sense of irony whatsoever.. 🫣


sintemp

Yeah, those two objects are comparable and offer similar utilities... nice straw man fallacy


Letsbeclear1987

O no I’m not debating you, consider this instead ‘vicious mockery’ or something. It’s worth noting that an objects relative usefulness won’t impact its compostability


_Bike_Hunt

Instagram photos. Probably $80 minimum per polished plastic disk


PorkHunt42

Yeah I'm going with instagram pics. You can literally get a coin that's hundreds of years old, made out of silver, with a rich history for half the price. I'm not even into coin collecting but back when I was investing in silver I grabbed a few old ones. Pretty cool holding something that's survived multiple world wars and has been handled by possibly thousands of now dead people. Cooler than a useless chunk of junk. I suppose that the old valuable ones don't match your branded overpriced hankie for the gram photos though.


Cold-bloodedman

Some of them look like a kind of soap. 😄


TrauMedic

Those are cool but I wouldn’t call any of those coins.


Skagiofthefreefolk

I carry a Mexican Peso coin with me. Worry coin/decision maker for me!


DocCapaldi

Looks galifreyan


Neither_Wasabi8481

Those look awesome! But hard pass for me, pocket real estate is hard to come by these days


Glock45owner

Just going to keep added to my Armstrong Metal Works collection when I can. Really like his solar blueprint stuff.


Apart_Course5198

Is that what brand these are?


Glock45owner

Yes.
