It would be cool to design and get some challenge coins made for this site. Usually good return on the money to help offset costs, plus many (me) collect these from our travels through the military etc. Just a thought?

That's a great idea. I really like that idea and actually have mentioned it to my buddy at Pipe Hitters Union. They do coins and I wanted to see how the patches and shirts went first before I venture out into more stuff due to the minimums.

If you get serious about it let me know. I can even get some pricing if that helps or show you a few cool ones I have from over the years.

Yup better not be without if coin checked. Most of the ones I get we sell for like 10 bucks, which still allows monies to be raised and still be affordable.

So do you swap them at meet and greets?
You could but a SET coin would all be the same so not much swapping. Usually we give them out to hard chargers as recognition for their work. Also swap with other units you have worked with or deployed with etc etc.

Here was my initial thoughts on how I was going to do the Challenge Coins.

1. Create a limited number of coins to sell to raise money for the site. We could make various designs, but keep them very limited.
2. Create a limited number of coins to sell that the profits go to good causes like GeorgiaCarry.org, etc.
3. Create a renewable number of coins that members receive when they earn certain monumental achievements like 100 positive feedbacks, or 10,000 posts, etc.
4. Create a renewable coin for specific challenges, like a shooting drill, or taking a broke down AR (bcg and all) and putting it back together in under 30 secs, etc.

I would even suggest for some of you groups above consider wooden coins - We use them as well - Same principle a lot less cost. @dougiemac Example of some wooden ones

I value these and others, they were given to me over the years, At the Viet Nam meet in Melbourne Fla. , Rolling thunder, at NRA conventions also the training center in Forsyth.
As gifts to me I would never give them away, they will be passed on to my son..
