Challenge Coins

Since World War I, challenge coins have been upheld as treasured symbols of an unbreakable bond. For almost 100 years, challenge coins have served to remind groups, teams and units of their common goals, dedication and allegiance. Today, custom challenge coins continue to do the same for several groups.

The History of Challenge Coins

In World War I, a rich lieutenant had custom challenge coins minted for all those in his unit as a symbol of loyalty. Narrowly escaping the Germans, one pilot in this unit produced his challenge coin to French soldiers and had his life spared. That inspired the others in this pilot’s unit to always carry their challenge coins.

The Meaning of Challenge Coins

Today, custom challenge coins can still represent a tight bond between members of military units however, their popularity has spread to other teams and clubs. Recognizing that challenge coins build team spirit, preserve unity and encourage stronger ties; many other organizations have begun issuing custom challenge coins to bolster these traits.

Though our coins represent the same unity and reminders of the original challenge coin, the purpose for the E4Safety Coins is to remind our fellow workers, that we are our brothers keepers, we do not keep the coin, we pass it on to the next person that we feel fit to deserve it, where if it is the Green Thank you for being our Ally, or the Red Will you be my Ally? Coin, each should be registered on the website, and then passed on. Over time you can come back to see where it has been.
