I think that could be cool indeed, although having to carry around four (or nine, for me!) such coins to cover oneself in a challenge might get a little heavy

For display, though? Giddyup.

Re: Perqs for Graduating Seniors?

Like several other teams, we hold a banquet/potluck every year, where, among other things, we hand out letter patches and talk about the seniors. We've done it a bit differently every year I've been on the team, but I'm a fan of what we did this last year particularly. We had thirteen seniors graduating, and one of the mentors from each of their subteams spoke a few words about their contribution to the team. We also gave them some memorabilia, such as a CMP booklet signed by (if I remember correctly, which I may not) Dean, which were obtained through the efforts of a few of our mentors at the Championship event. I think we also gave the leadership a team coffee mug or waterbottle (joking that they should have had it during build season). I'm curious as to what we'll be doing when our now-junior class graduates (there are like 30 of them!).

I love the giving back to the seniors-- just about every one on our team has put blood, sweat, and tears into our team, so we like to let them know we love them!
