The 2005 Charlotte Coin commemorates 10 years of professional football in the Carolinas and features the Panther's stadium.

The stadium and the adjacent practice fields are located on 33 acres of land in Uptown Charlotte.  The stadium was designed by HOK Sports Facilities Group of Kansas City, MO. and seats 73,367 fans. The stadium facade features many unique elements, such as massive arches and towers at the entries all clad in building materials accenting the team colors of black, silver and blue. The stadium playing field has a Bermuda grass surface.

Park It! introduced the first Charlotte Coin in January 1999 as the validation tool for the Park! Center City program. The Charlotte Coin makes it more convenient and less expensive to visit Charlotte's Center City. When patrons visit Center City businesses participating in the Park! Center City program, they receive a $1 Charlotte Coin that is accepted in parking meters and at parking lots and garages where a Park! Center City banner is displayed.

The Charlotte Coin is also redeemable for free rides on CATS , LYNX light rail, buses and the Charlotte Trolley.

Each coin bears its mint number on the edge and is encapsulated and boxed. Bi-metal tokens are also available at a cost of $1.
