+jAY miLLS Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 (edited) I have a nice coin idea but lack the skills and the means to bring it to fruition. The coin would be a general "In Memorium" coin with no leaning toward a specific religion, animal or person. This coin could be used for any loss and/or memory of a pet, relative, friend, or even a group of people i.e. 9/11. The specifics of the entity to be honored could be put on the coins page. Anyway, I believe a coin like this would sell well as we all have endured a loss or two and this would be a nice tribute. It could easily be re-minted as needed which would make it a good stock item if a vendor would be interested in the idea (hint hint). I know for myself I would purchase a few to honor several special people in my life that I have lost over the years. As for the design, I don't have a clue but I think something simple would be good but will leave that to those who possess those skills. Would anyone else be interested in seeing a coin like this made? Peace Edited June 5, 2009 by jAY miLLS Quote Link to comment

+Howlingmoon Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 I would LOVE to see something like tis put out there. And I would buy several if they were the right price. Quote Link to comment
+Cheesy pigs Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 I's also love something like this. It would be nice to have a place where you could inscribe something on the coin as well. Quote Link to comment
The Stoned Wookie Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 This would be a great idea. Here's something I came up for part of the design on one side. You could have it say "In memory of." Below that you could have a blank area that is etchable. That way each coin can be customized. Let's say someone wanted to remember a group of victims. The coin could say "in memory of flight 447" with flight 447 being etched after the purchase. Quote Link to comment

Would anyone else be interested in seeing a coin like this made? Peace I had actually thought of something along these lines before as well and think it is a great idea. I even thought of n idea of what the coin should be and look like and think that it would be pricey but well worth it to many if done right. look closely and you see where the wings open on the locket to either add a photo of inscription of ones choice. I also thought the necklace idea was nice, but not required and could be optional. I guess the big question is it too pricey to produce? Quote Link to comment
+MustangJoni Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 Lilly Sue did a beautiful Remembrance coin. I got one to dedicate to someone I lost. Quote Link to comment

+nefesh Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 I's also love something like this. It would be nice to have a place where you could inscribe something on the coin as well. Yea like the last Idaho coin; you were able to put a name on the back. Quote Link to comment

+jAY miLLS Posted June 7, 2009 Author Share Posted June 7, 2009 I hope a vendor(s) picks this idea up. I believe this coin would be in great demand and sell well as I mentioned earlier. If I could I would do this myself but I am a lowly non-profit employee who can not afford to fund this project on my meager income. I hope someone picks up this idea and makes it a reality. Peace Quote Link to comment

Peace They have. LillySue has done a coin called the Remembrance Coin. I can't link to it, because it doesn't have a page of its own, and you just go to the home page. But if you visit their site, you will see that they've done a great job with it. Quote Link to comment
