The History of Challenge Coins

Written by All About Pins | Feb 20, 2012 5:00:00 AM
Since World War I, custom challenge coins have been used to honor exceptional acts of bravery and amazing, determined people.  They have distinct military ties but are now used by businesses, organizations, sports teams, and clubs worldwide to educate, promote, reward, and inform others. Challenge coins come in a variety of sizes, shapes, styles, and colors.  In fact, these days, custom coins are every bit as unique as the people that they are created for.  An article titled, Flip of a coin: a look into challenge-coin history, was recently posted on the Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst website.  You can read it in its entirety by clicking here. It’s nice to see challenge coins in the news these days.  As a leading challenge coin manufacturer, we know how meaningful and special a custom product can be.  For the military units, individuals, and groups we create custom made coins for, symbolism is very important.  That’s why you see emblems, photographs, and logos on nearly all of the custom challenge coins we create.  This allows the coins to be as unique as the individuals and groups that order from us. Share your military unit, business, group or organization’s personal history with others.  Visit http://www.allaboutchallengecoins.com today to request a free price quote.  We’ll also send you a full color digital proof to look over.  No matter what the occasion, All About Coins can assist by helping you create the type of custom challenge coin that you’re proud to hand out to others.
