Air Force Challenge Coins
"Fly, Fight, Win."
The United States Air Force is the branch of innovation, and their missions reach across the skies and into the stars. Many Air Force Commanders create a custom Air Force challenge coin to firmly mint their dedication to their section, flight, squadron, and mission.
THE U.S. AIR FORCE IS THE WORLD’S PREEMINENT FORCE IN AIR, SPACE AND CYBERSPACE.
The United States Air Force is, without a doubt, precisely what its name suggests, a force which time and again proves itself worthy of any foe, and a reputation for turning the tide of entire wars. Custom challenge coins designed for the Air Force reflect their solid roots in integrity, service, and excellence. Most of the US Air Force assets like aircraft, missiles, satellites, and computers are used as elements for their challenge coins. When all forces of the USAF are combined, it maintains an extreme advantage over enemy operations in the air, over enemy land and the sea, whether near or far away.

US DOD Coins did a fantastic job of helping me make my somewhat disorganized thoughts for a coins become reality. For my nonprofit, End of Watch Foundation, I came to them with a concept and a message that I wanted to be conveyed through the coin but not a clear design ready to hand them. I gave them my thoughts and after only 3-4 revisions they had a winning design that spoke the desired message of hope and to endure the hard times while also honoring the fallen LEO's of 2020. What else has endured the test of time if not the mountains; just as LE will endure these tests. The green grass is always a sign of healthy prosperous time that gives hope of a good harvest to come. St Michael is there to show that we are still in the fight while kneeling in honor of our fallen brothers/sisters at a memorial tablet bearing the statement "In Valor there is Hope" which is also found on the national LEO memorial wall in DC. Every bit of this coin bears a meaning and they hit the nail on the head!

I was so impressed by the customer service US DOD Coins provides. They quickly made adjustments to my design and worked with me on providing proofs with different options. This allowed us to be very confident that when the coins came in there wouldn’t be any surprises. I was especially impressed that there was no pressure to purchase and no required deposit, even when we got to our 12th proof. The coins turned out better than than I hoped and you can’t beet their price.

CHALLENGE COINS THAT ARE LOW-DRAG & HIGH-SPEED
Before, the challenge coin industry typically designed coins that were round, flat, and empty.
While this classic style is still being used today to some degree, people started asking for more complicated designs that our competitors not only refused to make the attempt but tried to talk them out of.
We immediately went to work, experimenting with the goal to manufacture the latest, most innovative challenge coin designs in this space. During this process, we discovered what worked and what didn't when it came to making a new generation of commemorative coins and memorabilia.
But most importantly, what did our customers think when they opened the box on their custom challenge coin order?
Folks who trusted us with their custom challenge coins were very pleasantly surprised, so much that they spread the word about our new game-changing designs.
And it seemed that before we could even reset our engraving laser, we had international orders coming in from all around the world for challenge coins for their militaries, police, and other agencies.
