What is the proper etiquette if I earn a coin from another unit that I already have?

A couple years ago I was coined by the commander of another unit. Now I am working with this same unit and was coined again. This is probably a dumb question, but is there a certain way I should handle it? Do I keep the coin? Politely decline the coin, etc? I haven't been in this situation before and it never occurred to me until now.

Keep the coin, but set it aside... add 1 OLC to your previous coin.
(Just kidding, but seriously, just keep the coin.)

Be thankful and keep the coin. The coins are supposed to be a form of instant recognition for a job well done and even if it's from the same unit, if given for it's intended purpose means you're doing well and the commander or in my case the CSM recognizes your efforts.

It's not a dumb question, but I think you are overthinking this. Just keep it. It's a coin you've earned twice by this unit. Might come off as insulting to turn it down.
