SHHH - Challenge coins

A few years ago I started a tradition of giving away challenge coins to the people that do Lightning talks at SHHH. These coins were made to represent social capital personified. I took the idea from the geo coin and https://www.geocaching.com/ game, but it organated in the military

Each SHHH a different member designs and produces 15-20 of these coins to be given away. Each coin SHHH is different and unique. You can tell who has been a longer member at VHS by how many coins they have.

I have missed a few SHHH over the past few years, I have ~8 of these coins but these are the ones I could find tonight. Post the pictures of the coins that you got.

Design spec.

  • 2 inches in diameters
  • Must have “VHS” or “Vancouver Hackspace” in text somewhere on the coin.
  • Should have what super happy hacker house this was given out at “SHHH XXXII”
  • Quantity of 15-20
  • It should be corporeal, physical, something people can touch. (Should not be feelings)
  • Can me made out of whatever material the designer decides.
  • It can be any shape the designer wants, you are not limited to “coin” shape.

Feel free to brainstorm in this topic on other challenge coins.
