WHO USES CHALLENGE COINS?
As veterans returned to civilian life, they introduced the concept of a custom coin to their friends, family and coworkers causing the idea of a custom challenge coin to spread. Originally, challenge coins were used to recognize going above and beyond the call of duty in service to the country.
WHAT ARE CUSTOM CHALLENGE COINS USED FOR?
The origins of the challenge coin in the military centered around being able to award heroic soldiers and units when traditional recognition from the government wasn’t possible. Custom challenge coins have a wide variety of applications, here are a few popular uses:

A growing trend in the world of custom challenge coins would be the insertion of a bottle opener feature within a traditional coin design. The dual purpose nature of this style of coin lends itself well within the community of challenge coin fans and collectors alike. With the roots of challenge coins being firmly entrenched in bars and drinking establishments of yesteryear, it only makes sense that a coin should be a bottle opener as well. So what does it take to make a coin a bottle opener? Firstly, its determining the shape of the opener you want for your coin with the two popular options being a cut out and lip inserted within the design to mimic a traditional bottle opener or a “hook” based bottle opener which is cut into the “edge” of a coin.
It wouldn’t be a surprise to anyone to say that many challenge coin users are current and former service members of the military. Dog tags are held near and dear to their hearts, literally and physically, as a representation of their membership and when retirement comes a symbol of their journey and career. The versatility of a custom challenge coin means it can be made in any shape and contain cut outs and holes which allows it to mimic the shape of even a dog tag. So if you’re trying to think of a way to make your coin unique and a wearable item, contact us today and we’ll turn any coin idea you have into a custom dog tag challenge coin
Our challenge coins are, of course, made of metal but they can be plated with various metals according to your liking. Sometimes the coin plating would be determined by an event or an occasion. A good example of that would be representing a 25 year anniversary with a Polished Silver metal plating. If you have a personal preference for a metal finish, such as having your custom challenge coin matching your gold jewelry, not a problem there.

Additional business days may be required when upgrading your coin design with options like edge cuts, 3D sculpting, dual plating, etc. The shipping time for an order being delivered to a physical address within the USA is 2-3 business days. If you require APO/FPO delivery, please know it could add 2 weeks of additional shipping time.
