AllCoin Help

AllCoin is the digital home for challenge coins and the stories behind them. Two things you can do here:

• Preserve a coin you already own: free, forever.
• Create brand-new digital coins with permanent, verified provenance (a tamper-proof record of who made the coin and everyone who has held it) and hand them out.

Everything starts with a photo.

There are two kinds of coins on AllCoin. Here is the difference:

New here? Do these three things:

1. 1Create your account: name and email, about 30 seconds.
2. 2Add your first coin: snap a photo of a coin you own and preserve it.
3. 3Share your collection so others can see your coins.

Go to Sign up. All we need is a name and an email address. You don't have to use your real name: nicknames or initials are fine. Phone, photo and bio are optional.

Preserving means saving a coin you already own to your collection. It's free, always.

1. 1Click + Add Coin at the top and choose Preserve a coin I have.
2. 2Upload a photo of the coin. This is the only required step; you can add everything else later.
3. 3Give it a name, tell its story, and add the date if you know it.
4. 4Hit Upload Coin.

Got a text or email saying someone sent you a coin? Here's how to claim it:

1. 1You get an email saying the sender shared a coin with you on AllCoin. Open it and tap Claim your coin.
2. 2The link opens the AllCoin sign-up screen with your email already filled in.
3. 3Create your free account. Only a name and email are required; photo, phone and bio are optional, and your real name is not required.
4. 4If you already have an account, use the Sign in tab instead.
5. 5The coin then appears in your collection under My Coins.

Creating (minting) makes a brand-new official digital coin with verified, permanent provenance: trackable, tamper-proof, and easy to see who you've given coins to.

Once you're vetted

1. 1Click + Add Coin and choose Create a new coin to give out.
2. 2Name it and write its story.
3. 3Add front and back images.
4. 4Set the supply limit: how many can exist.
5. 5Mint.

Add video

Digital coins can include a video up to 5 minutes: the coin's story, your story, your organization's story, whatever fits.

Sending gives someone a copy of a digital coin you've created.

1. 1Go to My Coins and click Send a Coin.
2. 2Pick the coin from your issued supply. You'll see how many are left, for example "274 available".
3. 3Send it to an AllCoin member, an organization, or any email address, even someone who's never heard of AllCoin.

Be proud of your profile. Share your whole collection or a single coin, on X, Facebook, LinkedIn, or anywhere else.

To share your whole collection

1. 1Go to My Coins and click Share Now in the Share Your Collection card.
2. 2Edit the caption if you like, then tap LinkedIn, X, or Facebook. LinkedIn and Facebook can't take pre-filled text, so your caption is copied for you to paste.
3. 3Or tap Copy link to share anywhere else.

Anyone with the link can view your collection, no account needed. To send it to one person, use Email, Copy link, or QR code in the same dialog.

To share a single coin

Open the coin and click Share on its page: same options, plus Download share card.

My Coins is your home base. Its tabs:

• Collection: your showpiece view.
• Coins: everything in your collection.
• Issued Coins: coins you've created.
• Ready to Give: created coins you still have supply of.
• Hidden: anything you've tucked away; only you can see these.

Your public wall

Your collection has its own public page and link. This is your "wall", the way people see your coins. Click Share Now to send it anywhere. Every coin also has its own page and link.

The rest of the menu

• Newsfeed: see what's new from people and organizations you follow.
• Community: connect with other collectors.

Editing a coin later
