The story behind the coin
Challenge coins are symbolic tokens depicting emblems and insignias that commemorate a person’s service. They became popular during World War I, and the tradition of challenge coins continues today.
These coins got the name “challenge coins” because military troops often had challenges to ensure that their members carried their coins on them at all times. A challenger would ask to see a member’s medallion; if the member could not produce it, they would have to buy a drink for the challenger. There’s also more information about how to challenge someone with your coin.
While many Marine Corps members still carry challenge coins during service, they have also become a popular way to memorialize one’s time in the military. Veterans purchase these coins to reflect meaningful moments in their period of service or to gift to fellow Marines as a show of appreciation and honor.
