TDR Challegne Coin

[Archive]

Has the TDR ever considered a Challenge Coin.

For those in the military they are a great source of pride.

I really think the idea could work well at dyno-events, club meetings, rallys, Hooters nights, or just impressing lowly Ford drivers on the organizational skills of the TDR and Dodge/Cummins owners in general.



My coin sugggestion

Circular or shaped like a turbo side profile

side 1 TDR logo



Side 2 (My idea) Montage of 6BT engine and grills from 1st, 2nd and 3rd gen DCTDs



Material: Silver plate (probably not real silver, costs 2 much)

Special features:

-Rolled Brass outer edge with inscription: "In Cummins we trust"

-Clear enamel over 1 or both sides (makes the coin smooth)

-Coin number Use TDR membership records to assign coin numbers for the first X, XX, XXX, XXXX TDR members or just number them all and record coins sales by post mark, email date or something similar.

(coin numbers determine who buys the round during a challenge highest number or member without a coin buys)



With 16,000 members you could order in numbers large enough to really get a great deal, should get the individual price down below $2-3 even with many features added.

There are a number of companies who do this and currently I am in one of the known locations for their manufacture (KOREA).



Let me know what you think, we can talk this up anytime.

For a glimpse of what a nice coin and deluxe minting looks like go here (these are USA made KICK ASS COINS! Not foreign made, so they cost a few dollars more)

You are right barbwire, the website address definitely needs to be in there.

3 sided coin

To bad there is no such thing as a 3 sided coin, so that we could have a picture of each generation Ram stamped on each side.

More Information Please

I've read your suggestion, and am willing to look a little further, but I need more background.



How would TDR members get a coin? Are they "issued" by the TDR or by Chapters or purchased? I'm not clear on the method of distribution. Or are they give out as "att-a-boys" when folks have done a good job?

Hello Robin

I think purchase would work best.

Included with membership could cause probs, initial year fee would require increased fee to include issue of a coin, then subsequent year fees would be a different price. Hassle IMO

"Att-a-boys" would be cool too.

Say for moderators or others who make a daily commitment.



I am unfamiliar with total membership # for the chapters so, am unsure if they have the numbers to support a purchase. Most minting operations require a purchase of 250 coins or more at initial purchase, plus a set-up fee.

This could be too much outlay for a small chapter.



Steps may include

getting an idea how many folks would be interested in purchase

selecting the desired features

scetching the design

selecting a design (if you have more than one)

selecting a vendor

possible pre ordering to cover set-up purchase costs



questions feel free to PM
