Challenge
coins have been used as a valuable recognition tool dating back
to the First World War. Military units began using challenge coins
as a discreet way of claiming membership to a specific unit. The
possession of a challenge coins was known to have saved the life
of a captured American service man during a rescue attempt. The
coin was the only form of identification in his possession that
proved he was a member of the American military forces. An individual
possessing challenge coins would be proud to know that he or she
is a member of a group that shares commitment, loyalty and dedication
to a common goal.
The use of challenge coins is most popular among Military units.
However, their use has extended into the corporate world as well
as in athletics, law enforcement, clubs and hobby groups.
