Traveller Promotional Items?

[LeperColony]

Once on ebay I saw a 10 credit bill with Strephon's picture on it. I regret not buying it now, as I've never seen another one. Does anyone have one?

Also, what other promotional items have there been for Traveller?

You can print your own imperial credits. They're just a pdf.

if you mean the transparent plastic one then I have one (but not for sale). You could, as suggested, print your own (I did this once).

As for other promotional items there are two I can think of: a poster version of the 'known universe', and a book of matches (the printer made an error and printed it black on red instead of red on black).

Yeah, I did mean the plastic one. Why were they made? When were they made?

Ah, now I recall one, and not mentioned yet, I even have it... somewhere in this mess. There was a set of cloth sew on uniform badges - (iirc) a shoulder flash, imperial sunburst, and unit crest. I think they are on the Traveller Illustrated Bibliography, back in a tic with a link if I find it...

...aha! Not totally senile yet

As a promotional goody to hand out at cons etc, I think. They date back to 1987, when MT came out. I think I got mine from Loren as a competition prize.

Marc has a load of T5 promo stuff he sometimes includes if you buy from him.
