Submarine Machinist's Mate "A-Ganger" Wrench Coin

After years of requests, we’re proud to bring you the A-Ganger two-sided pewter wrench and bottle opener coin—because if anyone deserves a tool that opens both valves and beverages, it’s an A-Ganger. Measuring approximately 4" x 1¼", this hefty pewter piece is part coin, part wrench, part bottle opener—all attitude.

So what’s an A-Ganger? According to All The Wacky Submarine Terms You Never Knew You Wanted To Know, an A-Ganger is a conventional Machinist’s Mate who works on non-nuclear machinery—scrubbers, burners, the diesel engine—basically everything mechanical up in the forward part of the boat. Known as knuckle-draggers and tough guys, A-Gangers are, by tradition and by right, the most profane individuals on board. They take cursing to levels undreamed of by mere sonar techs, storekeepers, or yeomen.

Whether you earned your knuckle scars or just admire the ones who did, this coin belongs in your collection—or your toolbox.
