The E-Sylum: Volume 10, Number 41, October 14, 2007, Article 18 OKLAHOMA COUPLE CREATES 'CHARACTER COIN' The Tulsa World of Tulsa, OK published a story about a token created by a local couple to be distributed to people performing good deeds. "Ken Grant and Melanie Hasty-Grant came up with the pay-it-forward-style Character Coin after Owasso city officials challenged business leaders to create partnerships to enhance the community. "'We were thinking about how we could reach out and touch people one at a time and make it infectious,' Grant said. "The goal behind the Character Coin is to catch someone doing a good act and give them the coin, tell them why and instruct them to do the same. "'You don't have to perform heroic acts to make a difference; you just have to be willing to recognize the good in others and share a coin as appreciation,' Grant said. "The couple had 30,000 coins made and hope other communities and businesses will join in the effort. "The coins have Owasso printed on them as well as the Web site where coin receivers can submit their stories. "'It would be cool if an Owasso coin ended up in Japan, or if we got one in our hands that had another town listed,' Hasty-Grant said."
