Character Coins
This set of 52 wooden Character Coins will help you focus on the virtues you want to develop in yourself and in children. You might choose one at a time to concentrate. Or use the coins as gifts in classes or workshops. Use them as rewards for children you see practicing positive qualities.
Another idea is to pull two out of the drawstring bag and meditate on the relationship between them. Or think of a challenge you are facing, pull one from the bag, and meditate on how it might help solve your problem. Look up their meaning on the accompanying list of definitions. If you set a goal of giving away the coins to people who you see practicing the virtue, then you will get in the habit of seeing the good in others.
The virtues are presented on the coins as affirmations, similar to the ones in our popular Virtues Coloring Books. For example, instead of just saying “kind,” the coin has a round design with the words “I feel kind because I am kind” around the edge. This reinforces the understanding that emotions and virtues are related.
The virtues are divided into four color-coded categories. This gives you greater insight into the different ways we apply virtues.
The 1.5″ round wooden coins are big enough to make them easy to read. They are comfortable to carry and feel good in your hand. Because you can carry them with you in your pocket every day wherever you go, they are physical focal points and powerful reminders of the meaning and importance of virtues.

One of several great products I ordered for Fun Fridays. We live next door to an elementary school and plan to pass out tatoos, stickers, character buttons and coloring sheets to children and families as they pass by as we get to know our neighbors in preparation for children’s classes. Thanks for making this fun and affordable

These coins are very smooth and colorful. The messages are great. We bought them to display in a bowl as freebies, hoping people at the fair would be attracted to and remember the Baha’i booth when they look at their gift virtues coin.
