A long admired collectible that raises substantial amounts for US based charities, here’s a look at the 2026 challenge coin from the Pennsylvania Star Wars Collecting Society, featuring – fittingly – Din Djarin, just in time for the arrival of The Mandalorian and Grogu. This year, the drive will benefit benefit Second Chance Fundraising, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization in Johnstown, PA whose focus is raising awareness for organ donation.

This year we are trying something different. In the past we have produced a run of 1000 coins, then we sold them until they were all gone. We always had the objective of raising around $7000. Last year we ran into some hurdles that made it much more difficult to sell out. This year we are trying something different, so we’ve decided to raise $7000 through preorders, with the final price determined by the quantity we make. That’s right – dynamic pricing!

How does dynamic pricing work?

If we receive 500 preorders, coins will cost $19.59 + shipping.
If we receive the maximum of 1000 preorders, coins will cost only $12.02 + shipping.
There will be a price drop at each 100 coins above 500.

For each coin sold, a portion of the proceeds will be donated to Second Chance Fundraising.

These coins are beautiful, a highlight of any collection, and they raise funds for worthy causes. They’re intended for US collectors only, but as all Star Wars fans know, where there’s a will, there’s a way.
