    I’m having a lot of fun designing and printing my own coin flip labels!
    I’m using my inkjet printer and printing my pdfs on premium cardstock. I print the front first then print the back separately. If I use the front and back printing option the alignment is off. Printing them separately allows me to adjust the image to match up with the other side more accurately. These are the large flips 2.5 x 2.5 inches.

    My apologies! The coins are a bit too dark in the middle image.

    Let me be among the first to compliment your artistic visualization and layout skills. The idea of putting facial images on one side of the flips is inspired -- it provides a great supplement to the written information on the other side.

    It's nice to have a 2.5" x 2.5" template -- 56% more area than 2" x 2" flips -- and you've taken excellent advantage of that extra space.

    Looks like Galerius could have stood to look into trying a little decaf.

    Hey, if flippers can look themselves in the mirror, fine. Just don't expect me to approve.

    Your presentation skills are outstanding - the facial images really enhance the flips.

    Thats pretty cool, usually I print two labels and fold them over. Sometimes I want to redo my label design but it would throw off the repeating pattern.

    I like how you have cropped the faces to just super close ups.

    Like, hey!, I am watching how you are treating my coins!

    Nice work!
