Milliways creates so called "challenge coins" for every event we make an appearance at. Coins are a nice piece of memorabilia to remember the past events by. Each coin features a unique design related to the theme of the particular event. The other side of the coin usually features the Milliways logo. Usually there exist multiple coin designs for a particular event.
If you would like to get a Milliways coin visit us at an event and ask! We may also have leftover coins from past events so you still have a chance to get those as well.
How to make a coin
It's important to note that the official Milliways Challenge Coins used at each event must be approved by the Milliways Reiseleitung for the specific event the coin is being made for.
