    Default SWC Motto and Coin

    I am exploring the options available in producing a Small Wars Council coin. One idea I am toying with right now is inscribing a motto for the Council (in Latin) on the coin. Here are several I’ve been thinking about – let me know what you think and by all means post alternatives.

    If there is enough interest here I’ll narrow down the choices to the top two and post a ‘vote-off’. I am also requesting any information you might have on quality (and reasonably priced) coins – who makes good stuff and does not charge an arm and a leg. Thanks...

    I'll check and see where the AFROTC Det I work for got their coins. They charge $6 each and they're of pretty good quality. They got them about a year before I took over the civilian side, otherwise I'd have the answer at my fingertips.

    Correction - the Det charges $6 per coin. Still...they can't really do it to make a profit.

    If any of the members are in Korea, they would be able to get coins dirt cheap in Itaewon...
