COVID-19 commemorative coins. No, really.

I became aware of this yesterday when a friend gave me one. He spent 16 years in submarines, so he's not quite right in the head. Which also likely explains why he's my friend. Anyway, he occasionally buys the group of friends we share gag gifts (or sometimes something useful, but mostly gags) and passes them out. I got a laugh out of it. I'm not sure where to prominently display mine, but I feel it needs a place of honor.


*edit* Here's mine, along with another coin he gave me a few months back:

This forum never fails to produce shit I had yet to realize I need...

If they made one that said "USN-WETSU", I might buy one.

I’ve gotten big into collecting challenge coins, and am on several coin trading Facebook groups. There’s a big interest right now (not from me) in departmental COVID coins.

Maybe it's time to stop carrying my 51st Colocated Operating Base Support Squadron coin from when I was at Taegu Air Base in 93 and get me a COVID coin. NOT!!!
