What is a Military Challenge Coin & Its Significance? | USAMM

Military challenge coins are an iconic symbol in the military. Historically, these coins are given as a token of appreciation, recognition, and pride for service members who have gone above and beyond their duty. Normally, a senior leader presents it to someone lesser ranking as recognition for a job well done, but in recent years that protocol isn’t always the one followed. But one thing is true, military challenge coins hold great value to those who receive them and they are passed down through generations as a prized possession.
