    Huh! You just beat me to the same question, Jock. I have never heard of such a coin (must be somethin' 'merican!). At first I thought it might be an emergency coin for a parking meter, public loo or telephone box, but I suspect it it something else altogether.

    As to the original question: I really have no preference as to flashes style - I have all three. The only type I do not care for are the garter ties (sorry Glen) because I find they simply do not stay in place all day. The 1" wide elastic garters, whether supplied or home-made, are just fine for me. I do, however, have six pairs of flashes that were originally garter ties; I cut off the tassel ends and mounted them on elastic so that I could wear them with comfort.

    Take care,
    Ham.

    Take care,
    Ham.
    No problem Ham

    Here I think we can agree to diagree, I was speaking from my own experience as I am sure you are as well, in this case anyway I say to each their own.

    PS
    I've never heard of such a thing as a Challenge coin either, nice to see I'm in good company.
