"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 1 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.

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.

My favorite quote from Albert Camus on the flip side.

Just a simple "worry coin", no frills, no spinning...just feels comforting in the hand.  These are manually machined in limited quantities.

Concave surface on both sides.

The subtle color in some varieties is near impossible to capture. The title of each represents what they look like in person.

Wood patterns will vary from style to style.

Custom Walnut Box included.

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!

Bronze and .999 Silver are now the new thickness. Copper is coming once we clear out old inventory.

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?!
