Description: Challenge coins have a rich history dating back to the military, particularly in the United States. The exact origins are somewhat debated, but one popular theory traces them back to World War I. It's said that American volunteers formed flying squadrons to aid France during the war. As a token of camaraderie and belonging, one of the squadron's wealthy officers had bronze medallions struck with the squadron's emblem, which he then gave to his unit. The rules surrounding challenge coins vary, but the basic concept remains: if someone "challenges" you by presenting their coin, you must produce yours. If you can't, you're typically required to buy a round of drinks or perform some other agreed-upon task. If everyone in the group can produce their coin, the challenger usually covers the cost. In recent years, challenge coins have become highly collectible, with many organizations creating unique designs to commemorate events, achievements, or as tokens of appreciation for service. They serve as a tangible reminder of the bonds formed within these organizations and the shared values they uphold.
