Military Challenge coins were tough to be quite useful especially when all the people heard of the story of the US air force pilot who was caught by the Nazis during the First World War. He was caught and imprisoned but when the prison was raided by the US the pilot managed to escape but was caught by then French. They checked him and found a challenge coin with him after which the pilot told them that he was presented the coin for his excellent efforts for his country which held him very highly in front of the French and they let him go as a French executioner actually saved his life.
Military challenge coins have become a very extensive part of the different fields of life and the details and other things related to each coin are also very detailed now. The latest techniques are a part of the different features that have been added to the details of the different coins and their various uses as well. Earlier the coins only had a brass round shape dyed up and some logo on it which was not even much visible. Now the Military Challenge Coins are produced in 2-D and 3-D systems which include several colors, logos and pictures on them along with specially designed pictures and also the rim of the coins are designed well now. Photographic inserts, animated numbering and special edging all are a part of the latest trends of coin designing now.
Several Military Challenge Coins hold a very special place in the civil as well as the military society within and out of the US. All these special coins are a part of the military career of the different officers and they are a few things left with them after retirement to be proud off by showing them around to the younger generations of what they have collected through out their lives due to their undoubted efforts. All those who own Military challenge coins are actually worth applauding for their brave efforts.
