Make pins that represent your country or you as a person.
Several districts give their Rotary exchange students pins.
How many pins should I bring?
I made 250 pins myself and was given 60 pins by my home Rotary district before I went abroad, so in total I brought 310 pins. I returned with just around 150 pins.
Based on this I would suggest that you bring around 150 pins. That should be sufficient.
Example of pins
I am from Denmark so therefore I made pins out of LEGO bricks, Carlsberg beer caps and the Danish krone, which represent my country:
Order the pin clips from the pictures from www.aliexpress.com:
- 50 butterfly pin clasps (around $8.50)
- 200 back bar pins (around$ 7.00)
- LEGO bricks with my name/initials + back bar pin:
- Carlsberg beer cap + back bar pin:
- Danish coins with Danish coloured ribbon + butterfly pin clasp
Save lots of money on souvenir pins for your blazer
Instead of buying overpriced $4.99 souvenir pins, you can buy $1.00 tokens and make them into a pin. Simply glue a pin clip to the back of the token and attach it to your Rotary blazer
As I have already mentioned, I bought 2 different inexpensive kinds of pin clasps from AliExpress.com:
- 50 butterfly pin clasps (around $7.50)
- 200 back bar pins (around$ 6.50)

How many pins have you gave away? Was it too much or just right?
