CUPAC, the New York State Credit Union League's state political action committee, is selling commemorative military coins as a means of raising funds. The "Armed Forces" collection of eight coins was minted as a tribute to the men and women serving in the Army, Navy, Air Force or Marines, with the reverse of the coins engraveable for those wishing to include a personal commemoration or message. Also available are four "Freedom Will Endure" coins commemorating the four branches of our Armed Forces, and an "Operation Iraqi Freedom" coin. Each coin costs $21.95. If 10 or more are purchased, the price per coin decreases to $17.50, with a portion of the proceeds going to CUPAC.
