They’re back! Early this year, Fringenuity made good on a long standing promise to offer a fan edition of the commemorative coins sent to Fringe’s cast and crew during the show’s final weeks of filming. That first run of charity coins was as popular among those who ordered them as the originals were among those who received them, and when the last few sold out, the wait list kept growing.
