Re: Quality report- challenge coins - DeusxMac - 06-25-2019 FWIW, such coins are not universally used throughout the military. They seem to generate more interest and carry more mystique outside the military. Re: Quality report- challenge coins - Filliam H. Muffman - 06-26-2019 >> Challenge coins are also popular in PDs and SOs. Police Departments and... Significant Others?

Re: Quality report- challenge coins - $tevie - 06-27-2019 I can't imagine being proud of having a challenge coin that is in fact a beer opener. Everything nice ends up ruined on the internet.

This Avery Trufelman?? "Avery Trufelman thought she wanted to be an industrial designer, but decided she’d rather make audio stories about design. She is a fierce defender of Millennial Pink (though her favorite color is Baker-Miller Pink), and her favorite font is the official typeface of Sweden, Sweden Sans." Hardly seems an authority on things military. p.s. Like the time travel copyright on her sight "© 2023 by JAMES JONES. All rights reserved." |
