Numismatic Apparel/merchandise

Random question, but I am a graphic designer, and I was just curious to see if there was any kind of desire among collector's for interesting/clever/funny numismatic things like shirts, bags, etc.
Numismatics is an area I have never really seen many "design objects" in, so I was just wondering.
Any feedback would be great image

    Maybe something with "ROB ME I Collect Coins" on it?

    About the only thing that seems to be sought after is the CRO hats that I know of.

    I have seen a limited amount of T-shirts and even a couple of tattoo's. Perhaps a windbreaker, carry bag for coin shows, loupes or magnifying glasses or personal embossed coin albums. Just suggestions. Cheers, RickO

    yeah, anything that says "I collect coins" wouldn't be a hot seller.

    graphics of coins, etc. wouldn't work on clothing.


    there are some artists here that sell painting and drawings, tho.

    My numismatic apparel needs (and my head) are pretty much covered by my CRO hat.

    There are 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who do not.

    I bought a bunch of "I Love Coins" t-shirts from numismatic news 22 years ago when I worked at Heritage and all I can tell you is even one of the big guys there bought one from me.

    Just don't wear them around "the hood".

    I would certainly buy something neat for my customers. The Holidays are soooo close. I've purchased some things already but not enough.

    I would only buy something that was cryptic that only other coin collectors would recognize. Kinda like a "secret" club that I didn't want others (except collectors) to know I was a member of.

    a "coin" appaeral thing is asking for trouble. get a shirt with a bullseye on it instead

    Fellas, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pockets you better use them to call a tailor. Stay thirsty my friends......

    Maybe a screen printed mustard stain!
    Many buy and sell transactions. Let's talk!

    How about something like "I am a serial killer who also collects coins and I haven't killed anyone in a week...please introduce yourself!" image

    Exactly what I was thinking before I even opened the thread. Still waiting for a CRO crested blazer.
