[cambria09]

Hello All. I was reading a few posts this morning and saw this one from CoinHunterAZ:

Amazing what you can learn about your own finds here. Dug this one a while back, never heard of a "Challenge Coin", sadly mine is not engraved with the owners name.

Thanks for viewing and HH C9.

very cool. makes a person wonder how something like that comes to be lost

They are easy to lose based on the situation. For example, the challenge, which can be made at any time, begins with the challenger drawing his/her coin, and slapping or placing the coin on the table or bar. In noisy environments, continuously rapping the challenge coin on a surface may initiate the challenge. (Accidentally dropping a challenge coin is considered to be a deliberate challenge to all present.) Everyone being challenged must immediately produce the coin for their organization and anyone failing to do so must buy a round of drinks for the challenger and everyone else who has their challenge coin. However, should everyone challenged be able to produce their coin, the challenger must buy a round of drinks for the group.
Mine is from the American Legion.
