    The mini coin! Is made from a special melt containing silver that was carried to the moon on the flight of Apollo 14! CM190621-164804002.jpg CM190621-165055005.jpg CM190621-165200007.jpg CM190621-164817003.jpg

    So if I did the math right, each one would contain 0.077 grains/0.005 grams of space flown silver. Cool!

    Nice one. Such medals are called relic medals. I have one of the USS Olympia that has some metal in it from the propeller.

    I found two of those in a big bulk bag of tokens I bought a few years ago.

    Neat pieces. And yes, "relic medals" are fun. I had not heard the term used before, but it makes sense.

    Technically you go back far enough and all the metal on Earth was flown in space, inside a stellar nebula, and go back further and it was all inside the core of one or two massive stars that went boom! All metal is "space metal".:D
