Challenge Coin
Military and law enforcement units in the United States have a challenge coin tradition. It’s usually the exchange of coins depicting specific units’ insignia, logo, motto, and/or mission. It is said the tradition started when a U.S. Army infantry-run bar tried to keep non-infantrymen away by forcing “outsiders” to buy drinks for the whole bar if they couldn’t prove they were infantrymen. The “proof” started with enemy bullets, grenades, and other assorted unexploded ordnance. So, (for obvious reasons) a coin-sized item emblazoned with the unit’s insignia became the accepted form of proof. This tradition is known as a “coin check” and continues to this day, hence a “challenge” coin. Veterans and servicemembers alike collect coins from both; their units and gifts from others which are usually displayed in their offices and homes.
