The principles of Bitcoin must be respected in allocation of collectible coins: equity, effectiveness and anonymity.
Bitcoin is a digital currency that has to replace fiat money, so anniversary coin must also be digital, in my opinion, and every active valuable member of the forum should have the opportunity to get a collectible coin.

Bitcointalk forum might award valuable members by sending them a jubilee digital coin to the BTC addresses indicated in their profiles, when they will reach a certain amount of Activity and Merit.
For every earned 1000 Activity and 1000 Merit, forum users could get for instance 0.22112009 BTC, symbolizing the date of Satoshi Nakamoto's greeting message on the forum https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5.0
Examples:
1. User A has reached 1000 Activity and 1000 earned Merit, then the Bitcoin wallet, indicated in user's profile, will be credited with 0.22112009 BTC by the forum.
2. User B has reached 2000 Activity and 2000 earned Merit, then this member will also could get 0.22112009 BTC.
After receiving each jubilee digital coin, a certain notes could be added to users profiles also.
I see the following positive points of such idea:
Thus, collectible coins will not be allocated among a handful of "chosen forum people", but all valuable members will have the opportunity to fairly earn a digital anniversary Bitcoin if they will be taking an active part in the life of the community.

I see the following positive points of such idea:
- Anonimity, since receivers of the anniversary coin will not be needed to provide any personal data.
- The quality of the forum's content and it's attendance will improve.
- The distribution of Merit on Bitcointalk will increase in all sub-sections.
Thus, collectible coins will not be allocated among a handful of "chosen forum people", but all valuable members will have the opportunity to fairly earn a digital anniversary Bitcoin if they will be taking an active part in the life of the community.
