Additional Information:
“Early on we decided that we had to do something to make this coin very special, since it had to pay tribute to the longest-lasting manned space program in U.S. History. We decided that we would make the coin by mixing-in Shuttle Orbiter metal from the first Space Shuttle mission - COLUMBIA, mission STS-1.”“We also decided that we needed to add significant details in the design of the coin. We also needed to decide which image of the Shuttle to use as the main image.” And you can read about those details (and view a short video tour of the design) at the website: www.SpaceShuttleCoin.com.
