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 STORY OF OUR MODERN CHALLENGE COIN AWARDS
Eight years ago, the challenge coin industry was designed similarly with little to no variation. Often times they were round, flat, and empty. Classic Challenge Coins are still being used today, but with more unique and bold designs.
People were asking for something more than the traditional design, so we took on the challenge when other companies refused. We began to make coins that were more sophisticated and detailed; we started experimenting with and trying out new designs. Some succeeded; others failed.
What was the customer's response to their completed job in the end?
The reaction was so positive that we received an influx of requests for high quality, detailed coins from militaries around the entire world. Our company's reputation spread quickly with the positive word-of-mouth referrals of our happy customers.
And that's the best way to know we're doing our job right.
