Metal reward tokens or coins
Physical coins or tokens used as tangible currency for milestone rewards. Collecting and 'spending' them creates stronger psychological attachment than digital points.
What to look for
- 1Metal construction (zinc or similar)—plastic feels cheap and undermines the reward
- 2Distinct denominations (bronze/silver/gold or numbered) for different achievement tiers
- 350–100 pieces minimum so you don't run out mid-month
- 4Size that fits comfortably in a pocket or small pouch
Skip
- Single-color sets that don't let you differentiate reward tiers
- Tiny sets (under 30 pieces) that require constant reuse
Used for: marking completed milestones physically · creating a spend-able reward economy · tracking monthly achievement totals · adding tactile satisfaction to quest systems
