Safety in Numbers – Food and Shelter 1 ounce of copper
Safety In Numbers – Food and Shelter 1 oz Copper is a medal that is part of a series devoted to emergency preparedness. Struck from 1 ounce of .999 fine copper, it underscores the importance of essential resources such as food and shelter—the foundation of every family’s security.
