I think you misunderstood my point. ...someone , I think Bluerauder, mentioned that maybe the coin could be similiar to the 2015 Carlisle t shirt design which includes "mercurymarauder.net". I was just suggesting that the coin not reference any particular forum. ;)

Of course I agree, it's Jim's idea and if he wants to have mm.net on the coin, it's all good as far as I'm concerned.

I was think just "MERCURY MARAUDER" and "2003 - 2004" with maybe a picture of an MM on the front or the picture of an MM wheel doing a burnout. On the back maybe some stats of the MM... 11,052 made, 302HP, etc. Just a thought. I'd like to get more ideas.

I like that concept, Jim, especially with the wheel. It all sounds good. I'm trying to figure out if it would be possible for me to put it on a bracelet. (Would love to if possible. Prolly depends on what size the coin will be.) Anyway, thanks for looking into doing this.
 
When I finished my cancer treatment, the proton therapy facility gave out Challenge Coins. It's pretty cool if you read the story of how they originated, going back to World War I. If I had more time I'd take a pic to show you. Basically the coin works like this...You're out tossing back a few and another member just happens to enter the same place...he sees you and taps his coin a few times on the bar or table...you see him now, take out your coin and tap back. Now the rule says if you tap your coin and he can't respond because he doesn't have his coin with him, he buys you a drink. If he does respond, you buy him a drink. If a bunch of us are together, it's chaos. It's fun....I might be able to do better on the pricing

Probably a pretty "gaudy" bracelet. Challenge Coins are typically about 1.5 inches in diameter. Some a bit larger; but not by much. 1/8 inch thick. I have a bunch from military organizations/commanders/GOs just jammed in a memorabilia box collecting cobs. Never got around to displaying them in one of the racks/cases that are available at the PX.

Seems you've never seen my Pandora Christmas bracelet....now that's "gaudy". :P

No matter what, I'm in for the coin. It's a great idea.
 
I made a very basic crude idea of a coin design. Instead of making it MM.net based, you can make it general to all Marauder owners to broaden your customer base.

I kind of like the idea of having the stats/figures of the car on one side.

A bit of a contradiction. Likely because I've been involved with them so long, I still think of all Marauders as all Marauders. You know, from 1963 to 2004 (maybe even going back to the 1958 engines). Yes, I know I'm the exception, not the rule, but I just had to point it out. I love my '03, but love the '63 a whole lot more.

I'm on the fence about a coin, but would be more interested if it wasn't limited to the 2003-4.
 
No offense anyone, but I don't like any of the proposed designs. So, I will reserve my vote to do this until I see one I like and that it is chosen.
 
Pending an excellent design, I would buy a couple. The designs thus far, I would buy one - just because.
 
I'll wait to see which design is picked before I commit to buying more then one but, I am in for one at this point.
