I have been contemplating taking them to my office or just leave them at home.

Is it vain to place your coin out in the open?

Where do you keep yours?

I always thought about having them on display on top of a wet bar in my final retirement home under a layer of resin. It is relatively easy to do. My drawbacks have been.....................................
I keep moving, I lost the home in the divorce, and I quit drinking. But at one time.........I had a decent plan.

One in my wallet and the others adorning, the Army/Nascar man cave in my next domicile.

SFC Mark Merino , I think the only problem with sticking them in resin for a bar top, although a very cool idea, is that you'd only be able to see 1 side of the coin. Unless I misunderstood your idea?

No, you are correct, but if you put aluminum foil down first befre the pour it should be reversable....in hope and theory...lol

I just added two more Coin holders from my S-3 NCOIC. Very nice display case. What do you think.

I just got tagged in this discussion 1SG (Join to see) which you started long before I joined RallyPoint. It was a RallyPoint summary of questions headlined "What is the history of the Blue Cord?" which got my attention as an infantryman.
I have a few coins in various places in storage in my mother-in-laws house. We have been caring for her since June 2014. In our next house I am looking forward to going through the boxes and finding my awards with citations, plaques, certificates, coins etc.
Most of our stuff is in boxes and I expect it will be like Christmas as a child when we open the boxes at our next house and find the article we forgot we had as well as what I expect to find.

Thank you my friend for the tag. I was surprised that this discussion is older than my time with RallyPoint!
