Talk:Sobriety coin

Numbers don't match up???
The text says "there are 13 basic coins given to members over the first year"... then a list is shown to give SEVEN coins' descriptions. Doesn't really match, does it? --5.146.47.75 (talk) 12:48, 29 March 2017 (UTC)

Sobriety Token Used as Challenge Coin
Many groups facilitate the collection of donations for purchasing AA literature for inmates using what is known as the "Jail Box". A few groups use sobriety coins as "challenge coins", with the outcome of the challenge dictating whether the challenger or the person challenged will make a donation to the Jail Box. If the "challenger" asks a person to show their coin and the person has it and shows it, the "challenger" is expected to make a donation to the Jail Box. If the person who is challenged cannot produce their sobriety coin, they are then expected to make a donation to the Jail Box. The amount to be donated is not specified and is up to the discretion of the person making the donation. 24.228.239.213 (talk) 12:54, 30 October 2019 (UTC)

Studies have shown?
"studies have shown a connection between the visual presence of the coin and the holder's self-resolve"

There needs to be a citation for this, because I've been around the program a few 365s, and am trained as a substance-abuse counselor, and I've not heard of any of these studies. AA traditions differ from region to region, country to country, and even group to group, so much of what can be/is shared on this topic is subjective, squishy, but if you're going to refer to "studies" the citation needs added, please.
