"Worrying is like paying a debt you don't owe"
Our Worry Coin is minted from solid metal in the U. S.
Available in Bronze, Copper, blackened Iron & .999 Silver.
Mokume version is limited and will vary in patter from coin to coin.
Blackened Iron version does not have reeding (little lines) on the edge. Iron is too hard to make this happen but we think it works without in this case.
Approximately 1.25" diameter
Solid Silver option is 1Â troy ounce.
The most remarkable thing about this favorite quote of mine is the simplicity and truth behind it. We worry almost constantly and there's nothing in this world saying that we have to. It doesn't change anything or fix the problem, but we do it anyway. We constantly pull from our bank of emotions and hormones to pay for this debt that doesn't exist.
A few years ago, I started manually machining various types of Worry Coins. They vary in metals, woods and sizes. Last year I had the idea that I'd laser engrave this quote into a coin but it was missing something and made these hand made coins even more expensive. I really wanted to be able to offer a more affordable version of a Worry Coin with this quote but, at the time, was not aware of Shire Post Mint's ability to create a concave surface on one side, so I shelved the project. A few months later, I saw what they could do with a coin so reached out to my favorite designer, Mike Major, and got to work. I couldn't be happier with the result. The size, weight, design and cost are the perfect balance and I'm sure you will enjoy.
"Imperfect" Event Horizons didn't make the cut but still look good and spin fairly well. Didn't want them to go to waste.
A pocket sized black hole that can be carried with you. This is an actual black hole (it's not) that you can carry with you. If you're not aware, black holes are dangerous so please be careful near the event horizon because nothing can escape the gravitational pull of a black hole. The escape velocity of a black hole is faster than the speed of light which basically means that nothing can get away.
