Here's what I was told about these resentment coins.
When going to these meetings in Florida, (I live in Ohio), during the part of the meeting when coins are given for anniversies the person giving out the coins would ask if anyone had resentments. The people who wanted these black resentment coins would receive the coin and when they left would take care of the resentment they had. When they resolved the resentment, they would return to the meeting, give the black coin back to either the chairperson or the coin giver, and tell the people in the meeting how they resolved the resentment.
This was the first time I ever heard of this, or seen these coins. I asked one of the locals that lived down there about these coins, and he told me these black resentment coins originated from A.A. meetings in the Florida Keys. Slowly these coins started showing up further and further north, and meetings started using these coins. I've talked to some fellow members where I live and they have heard of these coins also. I like the idea of the resentment coin, my sponsor, and others are interested about how you can get these coins.
The guy I talked to down there said there was a company in Naples Florida that either made or distributed these coins, but I wasn’t able to get an address or phone number.
Sorry about the long winded post...lol.
