Origin of the Challenge Coin
Traditionally, challenge coins had their beginning in World War I. Challenge coins were issued to battalions as symbols of camaraderie and unity. As time went by, the "challenge" of the challenge coin signified the ability to show your coin as a means of verifying membership in a club, group, or military unit.
When someone produces their challenge coin, you must produce your coin within 60 seconds. If you are unable to, you must meet the challenge. The "challenge" associated with the challenge coin could be to perform a specific task, buy the other person a drink, or anything determined by the group that issued the challenge coin.
