Novelty coin

Abstract

A novelty coin is disclosed herein. The coin has a plurality of numbers around the perimeter of the coin, either sequentially or in a random order. The coin allows a user to somewhat randomly choose numbers, such as for a lottery or the like. The coin may also have indicia placed upon one or both sides of the coin, as well as a mechanism that allows the coin to be selectively affixed to an item.

1 . A novelty coin comprising: 
 a plurality of numbers formed substantially equidistant from one another around the entire perimeter of the coin allowing a user to randomly choose one or more numbers by pointing to one or more points on the perimeter of the coin without looking at the coin.    
   
   
       2 . The coin of  claim 1 , further comprising: 
 indicia on one or more sides of the coin.    
   
   
       3 . The coin of  claim 1 , further comprising: 
 a mechanism for selectively fastening the coin to an item.    
   
   
       4 . The coin of  claim 2 , having a diameter of between about ½ to 6 inches and a thickness of between about 1/32 to ¼ of an inch.  
   
   
       5 . The coin of  claim 4 , where the surface of the coin is uniform so that the numbers can not be felt by a user.  
   
   
       6 . The coin of  claim 4 , further comprising: 
 means for selectively fastening the coin to an item.    
   
   
       7 . The coin of  claim 6 , where the surface of the coin is uniform so that the numbers can not be felt by a user.  
   
   
       8 . A novelty coin comprising: 
 a plurality of numbers formed substantially equidistant from one another on one or more sides of the coin so that a user can randomly choose one or more numbers by pointing to one or more points on the coin without looking at the coin.    
   
   
       9 . The coin of  claim 8 , where the numbers are located substantially around the entire perimeter of the coin.  
   
   
       10 . The coin of  claim 9 , where the surface of the coin is uniform so that the numbers can not be felt by a user.  
   
   
       11 . The coin of  claim 10 , further comprising: 
 indicia on one or more sides of the coin.

 indicia on one or more sides of the coin.

 means for selectively fastening the coin to an item.    
   
   
       14 . The coin of  claim 8 , further comprising: 
 means for selectively fastening the coin to an item.    
   
   
       15 . The coin of  claim 11  having a diameter of between about ½ to 6 inches and a thickness of between about 1/32 to ¼ of an inch.  
   
   
       16 . The coin of  claim 13  having a diameter of between about ½ to 6 inches and a thickness of between about 1/32 to ¼ of an inch.  
   
   
       17 . A novelty coin comprising: 
 a plurality of numbers formed on at least one of 
 one side of the coin, and  
 a perimeter edge of the coin;  
   indicia on at least one side of the coin; and    means for selectively fastening the coin to an item on at least one side of the coin.    
   
   
       18 . The coin of  claim 17 , where the numbers are spaced equidistant from one another so that a user selecting a number by pointing at the coin without looking at the coin has no greater probability of picking one number over another number.  
   
   
       19 . The coin of  claim 18 , where the indicia comprises at least one of advertisements, vacation destinations, lodging names, park names, casino names, game names, contact information, symbols, messages, trademarks and servicemarks.
