Top Ten Reasons to Create a Custom Challenge Coin

Thursday, March 10, 2011 by Michael Meador
Ever since I first saw a Letterman Late Night Top Ten list I have always found the spirit of such a list alluring.  I cannot seem to contain myself from clicking a "Top Ten Reasons...", or "Top Ten Places..."  link, even if it doesn't hold the same satire that Dave has so famously infused in his lists.  So in this vein of thinking I thought it was due time for me to create a Top Ten list of my own, the "Top Ten Reasons to Create a Custom Challenge Coin."

#10 - A challenge coin is a great piece of advertising.  When you spruce up a coin with a company logo and contact info you've just created a great promotional piece for your organization.  A great handout to prospective and existing clients.

#9 - Coins are a great way to show appreciation.  It's a great feeling to give and receive a challenge coin in recognition of a job well done.

Navy Challenge Coin#8 - Celebrate an anniversary or a milestone.  A custom challenge coin is a great piece to hand out at a commemorative event.

#7 - The collector's item appeal.  Ask any person that has received a few coins over the years and they can tell you, once you start collecting you are always looking for more.

#6 - Great source of inspiration.  After a person receives a coin they will likely carry it around in their pocket if it is sentimental to them.  I have heard many stories of customers creating a pocket token with an inspirational passage engraved on it.  When they are having a bad day they can pull the token out and appreciate the message.

#5 - Honor a civil servant.  Police Officers / Firefighters / and Soldiers are all accustomed to the challenge coin appeal.  Coins and tokens are traded between departments and units for many different reasons.  A simple thank you coin to hand out to a soldier or officer would go a long way in making their day.

#4 - Speaking of Soldiers and Officers... If you are an active officer or soldier and your department or unit does not have a custom coin made then you need to get that resolved now.  It's always polite to reciprocate the gesture when you are given a coin.Masonic Coin

#3 - It's a fun process.  Not everyone is an artist by trade, but that shouldn't stop you from having us design a custom coin for you.  We enjoy coming up with new ways to manipulate the metal for your custom design. 

#2 - Stimulate the economy! Let's face it, when you order a custom coin from us you're keeping our doors open and the business growing! 

#1 - Something to call your own.  When you create a custom coin it is entirely yours, no one will have a coin like it.  There is a good feeling in knowing you have created something completely unique.

Blauer Tactical Custom Coin and Custom Patch

Monday, August 16, 2010 by Michael Meador


A few months ago I was reading through one of our publications, S.W.A.T. Magazine, and I ran into an article about one of our newer customers. If you’re in the law enforcement / military field, then you should know the name Tony Blauer is synonymous with combat training. We were thrilled when Tony asked us to create a custom embroidered patch and custom coin for his company’s promotional use. If you’re looking for some top notch combat training you can learn more here about Tony and his highly effective S.P.E.A.R. system. Make sure to attend a seminar and see if you can snag one of his company’s custom coins or custom patches. They are sure to fit in nicely with your other military challenge coin and police challenge coin collections.

Custom U.S. Marine Challenge Coins

Wednesday, April 14, 2010 by Michael Meador

There are a lot of U.S. Marine challenge coins made from a variety of companies. That being said, while looking at these marine challenge coins, you will notice a large part of them look the same. They feature the U.S. Marine Corps Seal and not much more. While there is nothing wrong with having the seal as the main focus, we strive to create a unique, custom Marine challenge coin for our clients that incorporate a unique level of detail. Remember, there are two sides to every coin so you might as well use them both! Consider incorporating a personal trait on the Marine coin or recognizing their rank or unit.  If that’s not enough read below for more information on our design ideas for you next custom Marine challenge coin.

We take a more creative approach to our custom challenge coin designs by implementing the following:

  • Two-tone plating - both silver and gold plating in one coin - emphasize design details.
  • Piercings in design also create emphasis and a unique appearance.
  • Spinner coins with a fully 90 degree rotating center design element.
  • Consider a unique custom shape... going beyond the expected circles and rectangles.
  • Decorative coin edges, diamond cut, rope borders… all add distinction and enhanced value.
