What Are Department of Homeland Security Challenge Coins?
Challenge coins are a traditional form of military insignia. The tokens depict various emblems and can broadcast a person’s service, rank, and recognition awards. Challenge coins gained popularity in World War I when American soldiers began carrying them around for identification.
Challenge coin collectibles gained their name because military troops would often challenge members to check whether they had their coins on them. A “challenger” would ask another member to see their coin; if they could not find it, they would have to buy the challenger a drink or something similar.
While challenge coins originally began as a form of military identification, they eventually spread to recognize other honorable groups, including law enforcement, firefighters, the U.S. Congress, the Department of Homeland Security, and more.
The custom, decorative coins can feature various symbols to honor the dedicated members of the DHS, whose proficient service ensures the safety of all American citizens. Homeland Security challenge coins can also recognize notable accomplishments within the DHS field.
