Every once in a while, we like to take some time to see how challenge coins are being used in everyday life.  Recently, while in the Santa Fe desert canyon, filming the upcoming movie Cowboys and Aliens, Jon Favreau, director of Iron Man and Iron Man 2, distributed custom challenge coins as gifts. A Little Tradition Goes a Long Way Favreau and his crew worked extensively with the Air Force when making Iron Man at the Edwards Air Force Base. With their long military history and his close ties with the armed forces, the famous actor and director explained that this is where his appreciation for challenge coins started. The convenient size and portability of challenge coins makes them easy to give out. Favreau recalled shaking hands with the people on location and feeling them put a challenge coin in the palm of his hand.  Not only did he realize that they were easy to hand out, but that they also serve as a sign of appreciation, respect, and a valued tradition. Favreau decided to start his own tradition when he designed custom coins for Iron Man 2. In keeping with his vision, he also had challenge coins made for the set of Cowboy and Aliens. He even began an exclusive interview with movieweb.com journalists by gifting them with these unique customized challenge coins. With the unlimited design options that are now available.  Favreau was able to design challenge coins that reflected his films.  The Cowboys and Aliens coin was made to look more traditional.  It features the words “Cowboys” on one side, “Aliens” and “Director Jon Favreau” on the other. The challenge coin is a one-of-a-kind token for visitors and the people Jon and his crew work with.
