Well... it looks like this thread stirred up some good ideas.

While I didn't expect it.... Randy from GGG offered to replace the button for me.
Thank you Randy!  Great Customer Service.
... Why is it that you always find it in the last place that you look? ...

Laser Etching is the way to go.  I just got done making my COIN buttons. These should never wear out unless the button wears out.  I only hope that they will not discolor over time.  The only problem is that I haven't been able to get it to show up on white or blue yet.

That looks awesome! Imagine having your logo on every button with what the button does underneath!

Holy cow, I want two of those with a Canadian Quarter on 'em, and I don't even give a crap about what year! ;).  That looks sweet Punisher, may you should go into business on the side to provide these? :)

Leave it scratched. Not only that, burn it with a cigarette.

 :laugh:

While you're at it, wire it to the 2p start and jam a bunch of nickels in your coin slots!

I had 2 from GGG that both rubbed off.  It currently looks just like the picture posted here.  The first took a few months to rub off and Randy T was gracious enough to replace it for me.  However, the 2nd rubbed off within a couple of weeks.

I happen to have Pongo's vinyl decals for my admin buttons and they have been rock solid.  So I plan to simply use rubbing alcohol to remove what remains and then apply the new start decals to my buttons.

P.S. - It was probably me that caused them to rub off.  I do indeed leave fingerprints on sheetmetal, such as computer cases, etc.  So it could have been my acidic sweat.   :dunno
