What Are Marine Corps Challenge Coins?
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.Â
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.

At this stage, we will provide a quote based on your chosen design. We provide personalized quotes for each order to ensure that you get fair and up-to-date pricing.

Once we have nailed down a design, we will send you a proof showing exactly how your coin will appear after production. We will invite your feedback on the colors and the design as a whole and would be happy to make any last-minute changes at this stage. You also have control over the finish of your coin and can choose between gold, silver, matte copper, and antique brass.Â
Once you have approved the design, we will start production.Â

We produce a minimum of 100 coins for each order, and production usually takes anywhere between 30 and 45 days. We will keep you up to date so that you know when to expect to receive your coins.Â
