Challenge coins — medallion-like tokens or coins that bear an organization’s emblem or insignia — are used to reward hard work or instill pride. They also serve as a symbol of camaraderie or membership, and even forge a strong bond with those who have them. People in law enforcement, the military, and even corporations use challenge coins. Below are the different types of coins used by various organizations.Military Coins
Legend has it that the tradition of challenge coins started in World War I when the United States was building its army. One of the lieutenants wanted to give their members an object that served as a souvenir or reminder, so he ordered coin-like medallions bearing their unit’s insignia and gave them to all members. Later, the lieutenant was captured but later escaped, and the coin medallion he kept in his pouch saved him from getting executed. Today, military coins are given to members of the armed forces when they demonstrate bravery or attend an event. High-ranking officers are also given military coins.Fire, Police, and Healthcare Challenge Coins
Emergency medical service workers, firefighters, and those in law enforcement are given challenge coins as proof of their service or as appreciation for the work they do. For example, a firefighter or a medical worker may be given a challenge coin if they go the extra mile or go beyond the call of duty. Those who have given several years of service are also awarded challenge coins.Sports Coins
Sports challenge coins are given to players with outstanding performances or during a championship win. They’re also given to coaches or team members to recognize their achievements or memberships. Sports challenge coins may be given to fans as souvenirs during a championship season—a perfect opportunity for bottle opener challenge coins.University Coins
Universities may also distribute challenge coins to their graduates or to recognize an achievement. Note that colleges or high school teachers can also give custom challenge coins to their students if they achieve something spectacular or when they graduate.
