What are challenge coins?
The history of challenge coins dates back to World War I, and has enjoyed a long and proud heritage.
Many military units have a challenge coin to foster morale and esprit de corps among the troops.
Veterans have taken this tradition into the civilian world, where it has been adopted by law enforcement and other agencies.
How much do they cost?
The cost is dependent on many factors, such as quantity, finish, and type of metal used..
We make every effort to keep our coins reasonable; this being said, our coins usually start at $3.50/each.
Rule of thumb: the more complex the coin, the higher the cost.
