San Quentin State Prison Challenge Coin
1.75" Epoxy State SEAL
What is a challenge coin?
Challenge coins were originally used by Special Forces to recognize soldiers for outstanding acts, team training, unit identification, to boost esprit de corps, and to build camaraderie. Today, all military and many law enforcement units have challenge coins. Traditionally, "coining" was executed to see if fellow soldiers were carrying their unit's coin. In the Viet Nam era this tradition was modified slightly so that the loser of the challenge (Not carrying a coin) was obligated to buy a round of drinks. Today Challenge Coins are handsomely presented in display cases for everyone’s enjoyment. Many people trade these coins at training and collect other department coins.

As an overseas customer ordering from the UK, I have found www.norbay.com to be very speedy, helpful and professional. Shipping from the USA to the UK has not been a problem and the on-line tracking has allowed me to check the status of my orders. I love the content on the website and they always get new items to look at.
