Challenge Coins are now officially a joke

[Brill]

Guess I'm kinda old then, thought coins were supposed to denote pride in one's unit or signify your btdt status.

Most do. Dug these out: (I’m not affiliated with either org but helped them on some projects)

Guessing you wouldn’t appreciate the company coin from a now defunct Army EOD unit. It was in the shape of a milk carton, and the contact information was for The Matador. Probably one of the most popular EOD coins I’ve ever come across.

Nah, it's more they are becoming too common.

Challenge coins are too common. Because they are not an official award, they have become a surefire way to make sure everybody gets a trophy. I've always looked at like this...you know if you earned it and it only matters if it means something to you. I have coins I am very proud of but many were given to me for being in the right place at the right time.

We see a couple guys from pararescue from Fort Bragg from time to time, let's see what kind of swag they'll give me .

Usually just hair products.

Usually just hair products.

OK, now I have to explain to my coworkers why I just spit coffee onto the floor....

Usually I drool, only occasionally spit. Basically a bipedal llama.
