Is there any interest in a custom challenge coin or new patch?

[sloonan]

I would love to have a Carter's Commando challenge coin or some new patch and wanted to see if others were interested. I don't want to step on anyone's toes so if this is overstepping, mods please close this thread or delete it. However, if it's cool and we have enough interest, let's make something happen.

I’llbite...

wtf is a challenge coin?

Coin with organization's insignia or emblem and used in coin challenges. This usually involves some kind of drink related penalty (buying drinks) for those without their challenge coin. Pretty common in military circles.

Just as long as the challenge coins are affordable

Having read what a challenge coin is; yes.

Depends on the size of the run and the materials, but I have seen the RPF (Replica Prop Forum) guys knock out coins for $10-$15 retail. I'll poke around and see where they are getting theirs done.

Possibly this site - https://coinsforanything.com/

Yes please on both.

Hmmm....I do like patches.


All my coins have just sat in a box.(very seldom/never drink)
Here's a few coins that were handed to me a lifetime ago. For those that are still wondering, what the coins can look like.

The game token is for size reference.

Personally there was several iterations of CC patches.
i bought many but rarely been on my stuff.

Having bought and sold runs of patches, to have something affordable there has to be a hundred. Having done 200 to get many colors have been long to sell. I have even do manufacturer patches with authorization and at the end just sold my remaining stock back to them.

coins can be good idea for players that actually plays at the same field. For me it not really useful. You could even have them made in 3D printing and there already a few mcb’s who got that.

So... you ask someone to see their coin and if they don't have one they buy drinks?

Weird.

I think this is an older generation military thing. Mine sat on a coin rack when I was still in in my office and now they are in a box somewhere in the garage.

Essentially yes.

Here on campus they love them. So much that the school has a few of it's own. You carry it with you because if you and your buddies go out, someone lays theirs down and you are the only one without it. You buy the next round.

In the military they are also used as a sign of respect and camaraderie without the drinking aspect. If someone not of your group (in my case Submarine) gives you his challenge coin it is paramount of them making you an honorary member of the group (Submarine). Challenge Coins were not real popular in my time on submarines it was really other branches/groups in the military that used them. For us it was a Zippo lighter with the boats emblem on it but the concept is the same.

[Altec]

Both. Two sets. The misses collects challenge coins. The ones she comes up with impress the hell out of me.

[XEMON]

I voted for patch only but would probably pick up a coin too (definitely if in the $ range mentioned)

Put me down for 2 patches and 1 coin 😁

[Carp]

Yeah...that sounds about right to me.

[foughtwolf]

I’d be down for a new patch and a coin sounds like a nice keepsake.

Incidentally if anyone has any of the old CC Furry Contingent patches I’d buy a couple more of those.

[BenoitOWN]

Those took times to sell out lol!
