Coins!
I love coins. I think they're super pretty and shiny and wonderful and ....
I have no idea what to do with them though. So I have this collection of coins that just sit around most of the time (a small percentage of the time I take the out and admire them and put them back in the packet I keep them in).
Give me ideas for what to do with my coins to display them prettily!

You can get challenge coin display cases on ebay or amazon.
Being a huge poker player I also use them as card protectors.
Get a leprechaun kettle and start filling it up.
We have an Ingress Coin chat if you're interested. There’s plenty of people in there that would love to have that coversation with you. :)

Pogs. Those were the good ole days. Ingress coins could totally be slammers. I'd go with India coaster coin or one of those year 4 thickies.
OMG. Pogs. That is a blast from the past.
A display case for your coins is probably your best bet.
I like the pins for the same reason you likely like the coins, but they're easier to display since they go on my Ingress backpack. It's also a nice small talk center piece because sometimes people will ask about them.
I completely disagree with "a display case being your best bet". It's heavy, expensive, not easily to move and doesn't hold many coins. If you're planning to only collecting 20-50 coins, then sure, it'll work. Personally I use a double ring zippered binder with coin sleeves to house my unique coins.
How in the world have we not talked poker?! My UCR coin is my card protector.
Maybe something made from fabric, with pockets the size of a coin, so you put them in and the fold the whole thing and be able to carry it with you
I enjoy bringing at least one on trips with me as a good luck charm.
When I go out to the bar, I like to take one with me for fiddling, playing coin games, or making bets.
I switch out which get to come with me so they all get to see daylight and feel loved.
No kidding. I'm a poker player too and have hosted many seedy poker nights. Never thought of using my coins as a card protector.

I have a display stand — holds 20 or so coins and isn’t as bulky or inconvenient as a case. I won’t ever need more room but if I did I could get another one.
If one side of the coin is superior to the other, you could turn some of your favorites into wearable medals! All you need to to is get a medal ribbon and then hire a welder to attach it.
You could also make them into a mobile (weld hooks/loops on or drill holes in coins).
I've also seen a wire coin holder that looked like a vine, with the coins as leaves, that was wrapped around a lamp at the agent's house.
Well, that i one way to display them but it is a pretty non-reversible option though re: the medal conversion.
That Vine thing though, sounds pretty cool, assuming its an indoor fixture though huh?
