Yes. Bottle opener coins are one of our most-requested variants: a coin with a functional opener cut into the design, so it works as both a challenge coin and a usable tool.
The opener is normally integrated into the coin rather than bolted on. A section of the edge is shaped into a lip and catch, often disguised within the design itself: the jaw of an animal, the tail of an aircraft, a notch in a shield, or a plain cutout at the base. Done well, it looks like a design element until someone uses it.
A few practical points. Bottle opener coins are usually made slightly larger and thicker than a standard coin, because the opener needs leverage and material strength to work repeatedly. They’re typically cast in zinc alloy, which handles the shaped voids well. And the design needs to leave room for the opener without crowding the artwork, so it’s worth deciding on the feature before the design stage rather than after.
Bottle opener coins are popular for squadron coins, unit reunions, fire departments, breweries, corporate events and anything with a social element. A coin that gets used gets carried.
We also make standalone bottle openers if you want the function without the coin format.
