A manufactured attachment to the United States dollar coin having a top annulus and a bottom annulus connected by a thin, narrow ribbon to have a clamshell form factor comprising:

• a. a first outer ridge attached to the outer edge of the outside face of said top annulus, and a first inner ridge attached to the inner edge of said outside face of said top annulus,
• b. a second outer ridge attached to the outer edge of the outside face of said bottom annulus, and a second inner ridge attached to the inner edge of said outside face of said bottom annulus,
• c. a plurality of flanges are attached to the inner ridge of said top annulus outside face, and another plurality of flanges are attached to the inner ridge of said bottom annulus outside face,
• d. said narrow, thin ribbon connects said outer edge of the inside face of said top annulus to said outer edge of the inside face of said bottom annulus, whereby said top annulus and said bottom annulus are attached, forming a single part to reduce manufacturing costs,
• e. on said inside face of each annulus is an adhesive area, covering a segment of each respective annulus from said ribbon to a line tangent to the nearest point on the inside edge of said respective annulus,
• f. located on a segment on the opposite side of said hole from said ribbon on each annulus, are wedge slopes to facilitate the insertion and removal of said dollar coin, designated outer wedge slope and inner wedge slope of the respective said top or said bottom annulus, whereby
• g. said wedge slopes each form an acute angle with the plane of said respective inside faces of respective said top and bottom annuli,
