History of the Challenge Coin:

The Challenge Coin originated in the United States Armed Forces and represents PRIDE in one's unit. Commanders awarded them to soldiers to recognize an important contribution to the unit. The coins became sought after as they represented COURAGE and HONOR having "done the job" for his unit, his teammates.
As they became popular an additional use was discovered:

When a soldier greets a fellow unit member in a social setting, he slaps his coin down and the challenge is made -if the unit member does not produce his own coin - he buys! But if he meets the challenge and slaps his coin down, then he enjoys a free beverage and another bond of PRIDE and FRIENDSHIP is celebrated.
