Just curious if any forum members have any unit coins or challenge coins. I remember these coming in useful at unit functions and a couple of bars when someone did a Coin Check. Always made sure I had one when deployed or on TDY (Saudi and Kuwait didn't really count,,, except for Bahrain).

I have a few, but not nearly as many as Shawn (I assume!). The coins pictured here are my unit's creation from Iraq. But the actual 'coin checking' tradition has fallen out of practice.

I have 33 total that I've earned/been given I guess. The best one is from my LRSU days. We had them made up and numbered. Each member of the company was given a number based on his position on the company. That info was recorded and placed in the unit history folder. Will anyone ever see that again? I doubt it, but we went thru the motions. I'll get pics up soon.
My son has received three unit coins, two from military vendors during the Infantry Conference and one from General Dan McNeil personally. He also has a few store bought 82nd coins, but those don't count.
