The use of challenge coins is a tradition that started back in World War I, and that is worth continuing today. Originally, challenge coins were issued to battalions as symbols of camaraderie and unity. As time went on, the "challenge" of the challenge coin came in the ability to show your coin as proof of membership in a club, group, or military unit.
What is the "challenge" of the challenge coin?
When someone belonging to the same group "challenges" you to produce your coin, you must do so within 60 seconds. If you are unable to, you must meet the challenge. The challenge associated with the challenge coin could be to buy the other person a drink, to perform a task, or any number of other things as determined by the group who issued the challenge coins.
Although started in the military, the honored tradition of challenge coins continues today with literally hundreds of groups such as:
- The military
- Scouting troops
- Church groups
- Various departments of a business
- Social groups
- Chambers of commerce
- Rotary clubs
- Fraternities
- Sororities
- ROTC units
Each is brought closer together in an increased environment of teamwork by carrying their challenge coins.
