THE PROGRESSION OF CUSTOM NAVY CHALLENGE COIN

Almost a decade ago, the challenge coin making industry produced one kind of coin: flat, round, and metal.

There's nothing wrong with that, but customers started coming to us at U.S. DOD Coins and requesting more difficult, complex and sophisticated designs for their favorite challenge coins and custom Navy belt buckles. Instead of doing what many of our competitors did and try to tell them they were asking for too much, we took on the task.

We started experimenting with new, wild designs like 3D shapes and contours, putting custom text on challenge coin edges, and even doing things like putting a bottle opener on the challenge coin itself and make it glow in the dark. Some of these designs made it. Some didn't.

But what did the paying client think?

Our new and revolutionary designs went over so well on our customers that eventually, word-of-mouth became responsible for a barrage of overseas orders from other militaries around the world.
