FIREFIGHTER AND EMS CHALLENGE COINS
"Saving Lives is"
There are few professions as life-threatening and strenuous as being firefighters. So, why not show respect and give credit where credit is due using challenge coins? Firefighting involves extensive and regularly practiced training evaluations not made for the faint of heart and in themselves offer many occasions for the usage of custom coins.

Showing Respect to the Firefighters and Medics Who Make Civilization Possible
By working closely with other emergency response agencies, firefighters meet their goals of maintaining personal safety, saving lives, saving property and protecting the environment, feats that are often recognized with the presentation of personalized coins. However, firefighter coins do not have to show off only the skills and requirements of fire prevention, rescue and control. Custom challenge coins for specific causes and fundraisers affiliated with a local fire department have also become increasingly popular.

THE STORY BEHIND OUR CUSTOM CHALLENGE COINS
The Challenge Coin industry used to have what we call a recipe for designing challenge coins. These classic, round, flat, and empty coins are still being used today, but somewhere along the line people started asking for more intricacy and complexity in the design of their coin.
That's when our clients started to present more complicated concepts. Instead of shying away from the project as most other businesses had, we embraced it with open arms. We began to increase the complexity and detail of coins; we started experimenting with and exceeding expectations. Some succeeded; others failed.
What was the customer's reaction of their completed work in the end?
They loved their innovative new challenge coins custom made to order so much that the word eventually got out, and soon we were inundated with a ton of new orders from militaries around the world.
We were grateful for the recommendations from previous clients, and we immediately set to work at the office and in the shop to discovering- and building- the next generation of custom challenge coins.
We think you'll see when you hold your own coin in the palm of your hand.
