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.

THE EVOLUTION OF CHALLENGE COIN AWARDS
Eight years ago, the Challenge Coin industry had what we call a recipe for designing challenge coins. Round, flat, and empty.
This type of Challenge Coin is a classic, and it still being used nowadays, But people were somewhat asking for a little more spice, uniqueness, and bold designs.
That's when clients started to bring more complex ideas. Instead of refusing to take on the project as most other companies did, we embraced the challenge. We began to increase difficulty and detail to coins; we started experimenting and bringing expectations to another whole level. Some worked; some didn't work. In the end, what was the client's reaction to their finished project?

The impression was so much that a new wave of high quality and detailed coin requests came flooding the company! Word got spread about the High quality and unique designs spread all across the Military throughout the world.
