2. It is very important to make sure that both the sides of the military challenge coins are packed with the logo and inscription according to choice. It should be made sure that the border or the rim of the coin is also done accordingly and in the same way the coin would come out well according to its design.
3. The size and all other details are done on paper at first and once the client approves the coin, the metal stamp for both sides is ordered for the coin. Before the metal stamp is made the details about the price per piece are also discussed so that there is no issue about the cost later. This is called a quotation and it is done for free.
4. After the quotation is given, the client has to take his time to final it with the mint according to the color, size, price, etc. this would take the time while after that the final thing would come out in a fortnight.
5. The coins are then mounted on the metal and then the coloring is done. However much big the stock of the coins is being, usually the mints deliver them within two weeks but if the number of coins is too much and a lot of colors are used in the coin, then the min informs the client properly.

The coins are made by the mints and the designs and the different colors and the coating of the coins are discussed in detail with the clients. Most of the packing and the presentation of the coins is important and it is done on a complimentary basis by the mints for all the coins and for every client except for the special coins that cost extra for the presentation boxes.
