Commemorative Coin

[Anonymoose]

If it does get used go something in the future (bc of this thread...) it will be reobtainable.

My guess is that if they do introduce something that requires it then they will allow you to re-obtain it somehow.

They let people screw themselves out of opportunities all the time in FFXI. If people want to complain about hand-holding and "every player has every item," why do they just assume that they'd coddle you if you already traded it in? It sounds like the kind of thing most people are asking for, to some degree. Not this exactly, but at least the sentiment.

Of course, the coin might just be to prevent you from going over-cap at quest completion...
Sure, it might just be to teach people that the black market NPCs exist...

But if you traded it in, you traded it in. They never said it would or would not be for anything else -- and it sure doesn't fit with the honorable grand company lore that you're double dipping for profit by giving unauthorized items to the street market. I wouldn't be the least bit upset if it was unobtainable afterwards. Nobody made anyone trade it; it was a choice and people either acted on basic assumption or with caution.
