Field notes
The project treats the coin as both artifact and record: each holder writes up to 140 characters about an act, then passes the object onward. The featured record lists nine entries across Atlanta, Nashville, Lisbon, and Tokyo, while the map publishes neighborhoods rather than door-level locations. The site also describes a coffee-shop distribution model, with baristas expected to hand over a coin and explain the ritual in one sentence.
