The ''Official'' Challenge Coin Rules and Etiquette
The challenge coin tradition has been around for centuries. For many military service members and veterans, police and law enforcement officers, firefighters, and EMS first responders, challenge coins are more than just a piece of metal.
RespondersPro.com has been proud to create amazing custom Challenge Coins as they are a symbol of pride and camaraderie, representing the strong bonds that are formed between service members, which last long after their time in uniform has ended.
The Military, Police officers, Firefighters, EMS, and other First Responders are often issued challenge coins as a sign of appreciation for their service as well as a symbol of membership and these custom coins come with their own set of rules and etiquette that should be followed when presenting or receiving a challenge coin.
Here's what you need to know about some challenge coin rules and etiquette so that you can use your coin in the most respectful way possible. Thanks for serving!
