GARDA POLICE IRELAND Handcuff coins - a photo on Flickriver

            Click on the pic for a larger view.

Here are 2 coins from Garda, the National Police Service in Ireland.

This pic shows two of the same coin - hooked together to show both sides at once.

Because this "coin" - which is actually a bottle opener - was designed as a keychain, people including myself often clip the round keychain ring at the end off of the short chain, and then attach the two coins together to look like one set of handcuffs.

While this is a bottle opener, people still consider this as a challenge coin.  Challenge coins are not always round.

Because this cuff design incorporated a short chain and ring to make it a keychain, each coin has a small round hole added to the cuff to hold the chain - this small hole item is not added to cuff coins that are not marketed as keychains.  The hole I am referring to is seen at the top ends of the cuffs in this pic - one is just above the 3 color circle denoting the colors of the Irish flag.

One side of each coin shows the 3 colors of the Irish flag, while the other side has the Garda badge logo and has the thin blue line, which typically means law enforcement's separation of order from chaos, signifying the sacrifice officers make each day.

I collect insignia from Garda so if you have anything available, pls contact me. I have various things to trade including US patches, lapel pins, coins etc.  Thx.
