Georgia metals company sells WTC commemorative medallion

NEW YORK - Steel souvenirs made from rubble from the World Trade Center attack are being sold by an out-of-state metals casting company. But some criticize the creations as tasteless and ghoulish. <br> <br> The International Agile Manufacturing company in Georgia is selling medallions the size of a large belt buckle for $29.95, plus tax and shipping. <br> <br> The company&#39;s Web site says the souvenirs are made with structural steel from the World Trade Center site in New York and that a portion of the profits will be given to charity. <br> <br> But Michael Cartier, the co-founder of Give Your Voice, a civilian victims&#39; families group, says victims&#39; remains ``could be with the steel in those medallions&#39;&#39; and wonders where anyone would display such an item. <br> <br> The company, which bought the steel from a company in Newark, New Jersey, has sold about 10,000 of the medallions.
