Today, the American military commemorates how Challenge Coins began. Commanding officers gift challenge coins for deeds of bravery, excellence, and accomplishment. It is an incredible honor to receive one of these coins.
The other side of this tradition is the Challenge, which typically takes place in a bar setting. When one officer places their coin on the table, they issue a challenge to the others. Each attending officer must then present their coin. If anyone doesn’t have theirs, that person must buy the next round of drinks. If everyone produces their coin, the challenger must cover the round instead.
This fun and richly historic tradition is now spreading beyond the military. In fact, people across all walks of life now use custom-made coins to proudly showcase their loyalties and affiliations.
During World War II, a squadron leader commissioned custom coins with his unit’s insignia to boost morale. One coin later saved a pilot’s life and inspired a lasting military tradition.
German forces shot down the pilot and captured him, stripping away all his belongings. The only item left was a leather pouch around his neck holding the coin his commanding officer had given him.
Against all odds, he escaped into France, but locals suspected him of being a German spy and captured him again. Facing execution, he revealed his coin. A French commander recognized his unit’s insignia, stopped the execution, and rewarded him with a bottle of wine.
