Celebrate special occasions and milestone family events with custom coins

Looking for a way to celebrate a friend or loved one’s birthday, graduation, promotion or other milestone? Consider custom challenge coins.

We commonly refer to them as challenge coins, but commemorative coins or tribute coins might be more accurate. They’re a fantastic way to honor the achievements of people you care about, remember major events in history and celebrate a lifetime.

Long a military tradition, challenge coins have migrated into the civilian world as well. Many schools, police and fire departments now issue their own custom coins. When presented at public ceremonies, coins are an excellent means to reward service and accomplishments above and beyond the call of duty.

For firefighters, police officers, teachers, company executives and more, custom coins can honor retirement as well. Present the recipients with coins to thank them for their years of dedication and sacrifice on the job. Give them something they can carry with them, or display at home or in the office with pride.

Custom coins are an excellent way to honor historic events as well. Anna Maria College in Massachusetts, for example, recently ordered coins to pay tribute to those affected by the September 11, 2001. They were presented at a school-wide ceremony on the 20th anniversary of the event.

For weddings, custom coins make outstanding gifts for the wedding party, or even as favors for the guests. Have them crafted with the happy couple’s names, picture, the date and whatever other information you want to include. They’re a keepsake that people will treasure for decades.

Family reunions and similar gatherings also are a classic opportunity for custom coin keepsakes. Give coins to the attendees, and they’ll have something they can display or carry to remember the event by.
