Challenge coins

I have not been able to locate anybody doing challenge coins for anything to do with Minis. Has anyone thought about creating a coin for the different runs that I am seeing advertised on this forum? Is there any interest in them? I would think that someone would want to have one from each run they went on. I even thought I would find one for each type of badge I have seen, like the Chili Red Owners Club. Does anyone know if they have been made?

Ronin82,
What is your VP coin? I have the Challenge coin from The White House and one from The Presidential White House Communication Agency.
I'm glad to see that there are others interested in them. Sorry to start something like this, but I was surprised to see they were not already being made. I am just getting started in the Mini scene so I do not know enough about it to start having any made. Not only that, I do not have the time right now.

I would be in as well. I know they are big in the US Gov. I have 4 or 5 myself. I was also Air Force, but long before these were around.

I wish there were more of these in the mini world, not the (not so) cheap plastic ones...

The highest I got at the moment is the 2nd MEF(FWD) Master Chief/SGTMAJ coin that I got last year in Afghan. I don't take the coins as serious as some people though. I just woant ones from places I have been no people I have met.

Thank you guys for your service! I too was a "Wing Nut" (Air Force).
I think I will look into what it would take to make these coins. Does anyone know if the Signature badges are copy righted or can they be used? Actually I will search for who is designing them, I think I recall reading something about a new one being designed.

Got it from Old Man Cheny when I was on wounded status from the Iraqi war back in 07. Its Blue with the white house on it. Was just one of many top leader coins.

Hello and Good Evening,

I was alerted to this thread by a friend of mine, and if I am violating any rules please excuse me!!!

In any case, we have manufactured several challenge coins for other car groups and would extend special pricing to your organization. You can reach us at www.challengecoinsltd.com or one of the associates will be able to assist you.

For the discount, please PM me and I will respond accordingly. We'd love to put a Mini on a custom coin for you.

Kevin
