Challenge Coins & Lapel Pins
Over the years, the challenge-coin tradition has spread to other military units, and even to non-military organizations as well as the United States Congress, which produces challenge coins for members of Congress to give to constituents.
Today, challenge coins and lapel pins represent organizations, units, and teams. They are used to celebrate an achievement or anniversary or to commemorate a special event. Custom challenge coins are given to build close-knit, lasting bonds between people who receive them and represent unity. Many groups including military, law enforcement, government agencies, schools, corporations and community groups use custom-designed challenge coins to celebrate accomplishments.

Challenge coins and pins are made in a similar way as custom race medals. First, a mold is made. Each coin is then stamped and electroplated. As with custom running medals, you can choose from different electroplating colors as well as color fills. A decorative coin edge is also a popular option as it gives the extra fine details.
