Uses of Challenge Coins

By Frank Cassidy

Challenge coins are not only for the military-they can represent any organization such as police, schools, fire departments, weddings, colleges, and other groups. Not only can you create your own coin with the design of your choice, but you can even start a collection or trade them.

Challenge coins symbolize the values of your organization. The emblem imprinted on the coin should have a theme that best portrays the hard work and honor that your organization is known for. Mottos and mascots can also be great symbols to include on your coins, as they represent the attitude and individuality of your organization. A unique challenge coin should promote pride and support among the members of the group. It can be a great gift of thanks or a profound symbol for your organization. It is something substantial that your members can dutifully wear to show others the pride they have amongst themselves belonging to the same special group.

Another use for these coins is to add them to a collection. By customizing your own coin it will be unique. Your collection will be much more valuable than if you had purchased it from a store that mass produces them. If you craft your own challenge coin, you may be the first or the only one with that design, making your collection one-of-a-kind. As a collector, your challenge coins will be more valuable when you trade with other collectors because of the unique design you created for it. Share your coins with a friend or family member and get them into the hobby of challenge coin collecting.

Create your own challenge coin-one that displays a slogan, symbol, or quote-to express gratitude for the hardworking members in your organization or to start or add to your collection of valuable, priceless challenge coins.
