In January of 2018, my dad was diagnosed with bladder cancer so I was inspired to make him something that he could carry with him during treatment. He passed in October of 2018 and I was going to pull this piece from the site but decided to leave it. I hope it can provide a bit of comfort to anyone in need. 

The whole thing is made by hand (machined, stamped, finished) because I believe in the positive energy that's transferred in a hand made piece. Maybe a little new agey but if we aren't made of energy, what are we made of? And if that energy doesn't transfer, where is all of this stuff coming from? I'll spare you more details of my silly beliefs but, just know, that I try to put a positive chunk of myself in every piece.

Some of you might say that I'm exploiting my loved ones disease for my own financial gain. That certainly is one perspective but another might be that my whole point of launching this website was to make pieces that will make people happy or have a positive influence in their lives.

My favorite quote from Albert Camus on the flip side.

These will be made in small batches. If sold out, please sign up for the notification.

My dad passed away from multiple cancers in 2018. In early 2018, I machined a "worry coin" for him and stamped Fuck cancer on it. He'd carry it with him during his chemo. You may or may not have seen the free version that we make available on occasion. I've never intended on making a paid version but, after many requests, I'm finally giving in. This will also allow us to bring in more of the free versions for folks that don't have the funds for this one. 

These are CNC machined and then laser engraved but I'm keeping them as affordable as possible.

I love this quote from Albert Camus. It truly speaks to the human condition...in my humble opinion.

My dad passed away from multiple cancers in 2018. In early 2018, I machined a "worry coin" for him and stamped Fuck cancer on it. He'd carry it with him during his chemo. I shared it with folks who then expressed interest so I had this more affordable version minted by my friends at Shire Post Mint so I could give them away. In 2019 I gave away almost 1000 of these coins but it got to be too time consuming and costly to do so I shelved the project for the time being. I'm not sure why it took me so long to come up with this idea as it seems pretty obvious.

I'll cover the cost of the coin if you can cover the cost of shipping. I don't mind folks getting more than one if they have a good place for them but please just be respectful and not wasteful but don't be shy! I want you guys to have and share these so please don't feel guilty about taking them for free.

The Passing Coin is just that, it is a coin created to keep for yourself and pass on to those you love. We created the Passing Coin as a symbol of love, strength and reassurance, and to solidify the everlasting bond with those you care about. I love having something tangible to hold closely, acting as a constant reminder that no matter what the current situation may be in our lives, our love is safe and can withstand anything life may throw our way. We can hold onto the coin during the darkest of hours, whether feeling alone and apart from those we love most, nervous about starting a new chapter in life, living thousands of miles away for an unknown amount of time, no matter the circumstance, the Passing Coin reminds you that someone loves you. I carry this coin with me wherever I go, whether in my pocket or in my wallet, I never leave without it.  My girls carry one as well, which in turn keeps the bond and connection between us, and is a constant reminder that our love will never go away.  I love this coin, it can be given for a thousand different reasons to a thousand different people, and whatever the circumstance, the Passing Coin’s purpose will always remain; No matter where you are, I am here with you, and this too shall pass.

NEW AND IMPROVED!

The Bronze is anyway...I'm still working on clearing old inventory of Copper and Silver.

The big change is the thickness. The original is around .090" thick and the new is around .125" thick. Doesn't seem like much but you can see and feel the difference. I've been wanting to make this change for years but had to get through a ton of inventory!

Tired of those tough decisions?  Why not leave some up to fate?!

Joshua Tree tales, part...whatever.

Memory is funny. I have fond memories of Joshua Tree from my childhood but if I were really forced to sit down and hash it out, my sister and I were bored pretty much the majority of the time. I had a daily checklist I'd go through...BB gun, hang out in the gully, Lincoln Logs/army men and sometimes Peanuts puzzle. Not actual peanuts but a Peanuts puzzle with a missing piece. No other puzzles...just that one. This little fidget is an homage to that box of Lincoln Logs.

I hadn't seen the box for decades but, after my Grams passed (and the tweaker/looters were done) we found this box. The photo is the same box from my childhood. It was under the bed in the guest bedroom for decades. I'm not sure whose they were but either my dads or one of my uncles when they were kids. I can't say that we were over the moon playing with them, just curing some boredom and getting out of the heat but the feeling of the memory gives me joy. I guess that's just how it works.

When I started going through the box, I was surprised out how fidgety the little connectors were. I then thought.."dang...what if I cut it in half and put some magnets in?". So I did and my suspicions were confirmed.

The pics of the original wood prototype are not included with your purchase.
