RTC Challenge Coins
Just received the "I'm a Sailor" call from my son. In our conversation he mentioned he was given to "Challenge Coins". Being naive, I was wondering if anyone could explain what these coins are and how they age given out?
Thanks

we've discussed many times Tom....it's kinda a hefty capital outlay for the design and minting (as I recall $2500 and up)...we're always looking at alternatives.....

Hey...maybe a dumb idea...but did you guys ever think of commissioning a Navy Dads coin?...I know that I would be right in line for one...

I know Tom....I've laughed at lot about that too......heckofa coincidence!!!! I have so many cool ideas for holders- need more time and money to buy specialized tools.....it truly never ends!!!!! And now have some ideas for Navy cutting boards.....we'll see about those..........

OK Paul LOL...

I read that after I saw your followup....every site has the same story word for word. All that I could think of is ..."He's a French model....Bonjour!"...LOL! I fly with a virtual squadron on weekends....a bunch of WW2 buffs...somehow we got talking about them and that was the story that I got. They probably go back way further than WWI if you think about it...we men love to belong to a group! It is a pretty cool and inexpensive hobby. Navy Dads got me started on buying them. I'm totally impressed with the holder designs that you guys build. I've got a handfull now...but it will get much worse, no doubt!
