Oldsmar Veterans Board discusses reordering traditional challenge coins amid budget concerns
Summary
Board members said they ran out of the original metal challenge coins and discussed ordering replacements (Warrior Coin referenced), weighing cost, minimum order quantities, numbered editions and limiting distribution to dignitaries versus ceramic tokens for wider use.
Members of the Oldsmar Veterans Board discussed replenishing their traditional challenge-coin supply after running out of the heavier metal coins and temporarily using ceramic tokens.
A board member said older coins had been purchased from Warrior Coin (referred to in the meeting as Warriorcoin.com or Warrior Coins) and suggested ordering the original-style metal coin again, likely in a minimum lot to reduce unit cost. The member who raised the topic said numbered, thicker metal coins were desirable for speakers and dignitaries while ceramic tokens could continue to be used for ROTC and broader distributions.
Staff and other members said they would review past emails, vendor records and previous orders, and staff agreed to request quotes and report back. The board discussed limiting distribution (for example, reserving higher-quality coins for guest speakers and dignitaries) to contain costs.
No formal procurement vote or budget allocation was recorded on the transcript; members agreed staff would gather vendor pricing and order history and follow up at a future meeting.
