Police Challenge Coins
TO PROTECT AND SERVE
Years of police service, advancement through the ranks and retirement also present perfect opportunities to create challenge coins for police. As far as individual accomplishments are concerned, custom challenge coins add to the sentiment of the occasion and aid in preserving their memory.
Respect Is Given Where It Is Due
U.S. DOD Coins believes that the superiority associated with challenge coins is not considered as often as it should be for recognizing our everyday heroes. The taking of first steps, like graduating from the police academy, to elite training like SWAT is a celebration for which law enforcement police challenge coins aptly commemorate the occasion.

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.

A NEW ERA OF CUSTOM CHALLENGE COINS
The industry of producing challenge coins had a formula back in 2008. Round, flat, and bare. After initially being brought basic designs, our clients began to request more intricate ones.
Rather than turn down the job like many other companies would do, we took it on as a learning experience. We pushed ourselves to create coins that were increasingly difficult and detailed; sometimes they worked out and sometimes they didn't.
What mattered most was the reaction of the client when they saw their completed project.
So, how'd it all go?
