Commonly seen on trading pins, dangling pins are becoming very popular these days in sports pin trading and collectible pins. The idea is that you have one or more pins hanging from a larger pin (dangling) to create a more dramatic and unique look.

Most of dangling pins that I have only have 1, sometimes 2 pins hanging underneath the main pin. The pin shown here has several, and I’ve seen pins worn by Home Depot employees that have several dangling pins as well, apparently for years on the job or other goals achieved.

Cool stuff, huh?
